Course Conditions
The main characteristic of IM Chattanooga is a fast, down-river swim. This year was even quicker than usual, and it was also followed by a quick bike for most of the top finishers .. who then didn’t have a fast run in them any more.
The men set new course records across the board. Flo Angert had the fastest swim with a 37:42, he broke Barret Brandon’s 2014 record and also set a new record for the fastest (current-assisted) swim in an Ironman. Cam Wurf broke Joe Skipper’s 2021 bike course record, posting a sub-4 bike. Arnaud Guilaux had the fastest run of the day, he broke Joe’s run course record. Rasmus Svenningsson didn’t have any of the fastest individual legs, but across all three legs he had the fastest time and set a new overall course record.
There were also course records for the women. Danielle Fauteux broke Skye Moench’s 2021 bike course record, and winner Anna Pabinger ran the first-ever sub-3 marathon in Chattanooga.
