Race Conditions
With all 2016 results this year was pretty typical for Kona. The swim was about three minutes quicker than normal – the ocean was relatively flat and big front groups stayed together for the men and women. As usual the bike and especially the run were slow compared to other courses. Last year the run was very hot and contributed to a high DNF rate of 32%. The run conditions were still tough this year, but the times were a bit faster and the DNF rate at 20% a bit lower.
There were two course records this year: Daniela Ryf posted a new overall record (beating Rinny’s time from 2013), and Patrick Lange posted a new run course record (beating the old Mark Allen time form 1989).
