Course Conditions
As usual, Barcelona has been a fast course. An adjustment of 28:33 and a new course rating of 23:05 indicate that they were even faster than what is normal for Barcelona. Both the swim and the bike were just a bit quicker than expected, but this year’s run was a bit more than three minutes quicker than normal.
This year’s race had some crazy fast times – both winners posted new overall course records: Sara Svensk improved Laura Philipp’s time from last year by 47 seconds, Florian Angert on the 2017 finish by Antony Costes by just over four minutes. Flo’s 7:45 is now the fastest 2019 Ironman finish (so far it’s been Cam Wurf’s 7:46 from Italy), it’s also a new fastest time by an Ironman rookie (besting Mathias Lyngsoe Petersen’s 7:52 from Sweden this year). Both Sara and Florian also set new bike course records, improving the 2017 times by Mike Philips and Lisa Huetthaler.
