Course Conditions
Conditions this year were pretty typical for IM Arizona, maybe a bit slower than in recent years. The standout results were Matt Hanson’s 2:35 marathon (fourth fastest ever and new run course record),Danielle Lewis’ 2:52:43 run split (beating Chrissie Wellington’s 2010 run course record), Ben Kanute’s 7:51 finish (fourth-fastest Ironman debut), and Sarah True’s 8:42 (fifth-fastest ever by a US female).
Kona Qualifying
IM Arizona had 2 male and 2 female Kona Pro slots. These go to
- Sarah True and Skye Moench for the women
and - Matt Hanson and Ben Kanute for the men.
Male winner Joe Skipper was already qualified.
