Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

At the top of the odds there are a lot of the Australians who either missed Kona (such as David Dellow with an injury, Clayton Fettell who took a year off IM racing) or didn’t quite have the race they wanted (Joe Gambles who finished 27th).

• David Dellow: 34% (2-1)
• Joe Gambles: 15% (6-1)
• Clayton Fettell: 12% (7-1)
• Romain Guillaume: 9% (10-1)
• Markus Thomschke: 8% (11-1)
• Christian Kemp: 6% (15-1)
• Patrik Nilsson: 4% (24-1)
• Matty White: 2% (40-1)
• Joshua Rix: 2% (65-1)

Female Race Participants

After having only 8 female finishers last year, this year sees a strong and deep women’s field, headed by Yvonne Van Vlerken (recent winner of IM Florida) and defending champion Liz Lyles. However, there are a lot of other IM winners in the field (Liz Blatchford, Anja Beranek, Diana Riesler, Britta Martin, Asa Lundstroem, Bree Wee, Kate Bevilacqua, Dede Griebauer), so we can expect an interesting race not only for first place but also for the money slots.

• Yvonne Van Vlerken: 39% (2-1)
• Elizabeth Lyles: 28% (3-1)
• Anja Beranek: 12% (7-1)
• Liz Blatchford: 9% (10-1)
• Diana Riesler: 6% (17-1)
• Britta Martin: 4% (22-1)

Update Nov 27th: The start list on Ironman.com has been updated:

• Withdrawals by Thomas Gerlach, Chad Holderbaum, Christoper Sweet, Jim Lubinski, Diana Riesler & Karen Thibodeau
• Late Additions by Marcel Bischof, Rene Vallant & Amy Javens

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

My top pick Clemente Alonso recently finished second at IM Arizona, so he may be a DNS. If he doesn’t start, there are (at least) four athletes that  could contend for the win without any clear favorite:

• Clemente Alonso McKernan: 31% (2-1)
• Victor Del Corral: 22% (4-1)
• Michael Weiss: 16% (5-1)
• Bas Diederen: 14% (6-1)
• Viktor Zyemtsev: 12% (8-1)
• Trevor Delsaut: 2% (40-1)
• Stephen Bayliss: 2% (57-1)

Female Race Participants

There are three big contenders on the women’s side: Michelle Vestry, Diana Riesler and Kelly Williamson. All of them have been racing in the fall with different results: Michelle finished 14th in Kona, Diana won at IM Malaysia, and Kelly finished 19th in Kona. It will be a question of who has the best form on race day …

• Michelle Vesterby: 31% (2-1)
• Diana Riesler: 29% (2-1) Diana won’t be racing in Cozumel, she is on the start list for Western Australia
• Kelly Williamson: 17% (5-1)
• Jessie Donavan: 7% (13-1)
• Erika Csomor: 6% (17-1)
• Celine Schaerer: 5% (18-1)
• Lucie Reed: 2% (55-1)

An interesting addition to the field is Olympic Champion Nicola Spirig who will do her first IM in Cozumel.

Race Conditions

During the race, there were a lot of mentions of windy conditions. Looking at the numbers, this year’s race was the slowest in Arizona since they moved to the fall time slot in 2008. With an adjustment of 16:31, it was still a very quick race, and it seems that the conditions didn’t affect the front of the race too much.

Male Race Results

Brent McMahon already had a number of great 70.3 results, but this weekend he moved up in distance and was able to deliver a stunning Ironman debut race. He was the third athlete ever with a sub-8 debut (the others are Filip Osapaly and Sebastian Kienle) and the fastest IM debut ever. He won the race in a new course record of 7:55, including a 2:43 marathon. Jordan Rapp rode a new bike course record and followed it up with a 2:54 marathon. His 8:03 finish was his fastest time in Arizona – but even that was only good enough for third: Clemente Alonso ran a 2:47 and took second place. Maik Twelsiek was also close to the front for most of the day and held on for a fourth place followed by Tim O’Donnell in fifth.

Female Race Results

Once the swim was underway, there was never a doubt that Meredith Kessler would be the winner. Leading after the swim, she posted the second fastest bike and run times to win in 8:50. Lisa Huetthaler was second, while Heather Jackson finished third in her Ironman Pro debut.

Course Rating

This was the first race in Fortaleza. The overall impression was a quick bike and relatively slow swims and runs, leading to an adjustment of 8:59, comparable to Switzerland or Cozumel.

Male Race Results

Eneko Llanos was the clear favorite and he was leading the race for a long time. However he struggled a bit on the run, and Guilherme Manocchio was close enough to overtake him about 5k from the finish. Eneko finished in second place, twenty minutes in front of 3rd place Thiago Vinhal.

Female Race Results

The winner on the women’s side was Haley Chura who had fantastic day. It was expected that she’d be leading after the swim, but she continued to extend her lead also posting the fastest bike and the second fastest run to win by more than 30 minutes. Ariane Monticeli ran herself into second place, and Jessie Donavan returned to IM racing with a third place finish.
