Course Conditions
The racing at the front was extremely fast in Hamburg, even if condition were a fair bit slower than last year. The new bike course (combined with wind and rain) was about six minutes slower than last year, so even there were fast times no new bike course record was set. The run course was almost exactly the same as as in previous year but still about two minutes slower. Laura and Kat pushed each other to new run PRs and – for Laura – a new fastest marathon in an Ironman-distance race of 2:38:27. Laura also set a new overall PR and course record of 8:03:13.
