Course Conditions
2019 was a slow year for Austria. The new bike course didn’t play a major role in it – the bike adjustment for this year was very similar to previous years. But the swim (non-wetsuit and maybe also some smaller changes) and the run (with some heavy rainfall towards the end) was pretty slow.
The only new course record (assuming the old and new courses and very similar) was a new bike course record set by Daniela Ryf – her 4:43:35 was few seconds quicker than the 2011 time set by Diana Riesler.
Kona Qualifying
IM Austria had only one slot each for the male and female Pros. With Daniela Ryf having an AQ slot that she already validated earlier this year in Texas, the additions to the Kona start list are
- Bianca Steurer
and - Daniel Baekkegard.
