Race Conditions
With an adjustment of 2:42, it was a pretty slow year for France. Apparently, the rainy conditions hurt all three disciplines, and especially the bike was very slow with an adjustment of -5:17 (apparently a lot of athletes crashed in rainy conditions on the descents in the second half of the race). Even though we saw Victor Del Corral running a 2:42 and the three top women posting sub-3h marathons, the run was also slower than last year (4:17 adjustment vs. 10:00 last year).
Male Race Results
Bart Aernouts won his first Ironman race with solid times across all three legs. As usual, Victor Del Corral had the fastest run leg, and Ty Butterfield took the last spot on the podium.

Female Race Results
The fastest bike leg enabled Tine Deckers to repeat her 2012 win. Super-runner Caitlin Snow made things interesting in the second half of the run as she closed the distance to Tine down to 39 seconds. Lisa Roberts had a solid race across all disciplines and finished third.
