Race Conditions
Based on a quick glance at last year’s results (when Almere was still an “independent” race), I expected a quick course. This turned out not to be the case: With an adjustment of 4:41, Almere was about as fast as New Zealand or the old IM Canada course. There were not a lot of Pros racing (and quite a lot racing here for the first time as a Pro), so next year will give a better indication if 2013 was a typical race for Almere.
Update: Apparently the course changed significantly from 2012. I got some feedback that there was a lot of rain and wind. (Thanks to Dylan McNeice, Alistair Lang and Neil McLoughlin.) Some people also report both the bike and run to be long.
