Course Conditions
IM CdA is anything but a fast course – the heat often makes it hard to go fast, even if this year’s conditions were a fair bit milder than in 2015. After an injury break, Chris Leiferman was able to set a new overall course record – his 8:06:41 was a minute quicker than Sam Long’s winning time from 2021.
Nice and Kona Qualifying
IM CdA offered three Pro slots each for the men and women. These go to:
- Chris Leiferman, Justin Metzler and Adam Feigheit for the men (Nice)
and - Jodie Robertson, Haley Chura and Melanie McQuaid for the women (Kona).
Matthew Marquardt, second male finisher, was already qualified before CdA. You can find the full list of qualifiers here.
