Ironman Barcelona 2018 – Analyzing Results

IMBarcelonaCourse Conditions & Records

Ironman Barcelona is one of the courses with the fastest times, especially in the agegroup ranks a consequence of the huge fields and “congestion issues”. This year was a bit slower than normal – with the exception of female winner Laura Philipp, there were no sub-8 or sub-9 times this year. The resulting adjustment of 17:22 is still fast, but relatively slow for Barcelona which has a new course rating of 22:00. Especially the bike was much slower than in previous years in Barcelona, while the run was a bit faster than typical.

Laura set a number of records with her race in Barcelona:

  • New run course record (her 2:52 is the first sub-3 run in Barcelona)
  • New overall female course (improving Yvonne Van Vlerken’s 2017 time by more than eleven minutes)
  • New German fastest Ironman-distance finish (improving on Daniela Sämmler’s 8:43 from Roth this summer)
  • New fastest IM debut (improving on Eva Wutti’s 8:37 from Copenhagen 2013 – after having a DNF before – or Mary Beth Ellis’ 8:43 from Austria 2011)
