Ironman Hawaii 2018 – Analyzing Results

Kona2018LogoCourse Conditions

This year had one of the fastest conditions ever in Kona: Relatively mild temperatures and almost no wind contributed to fast times and lots of course records. This year’s adjustment of 4:19 was about 12 minutes quicker than last year, and while the swim and run were pretty much comparable to typical Kona conditions, the bike had a “crazy fast” 15:37 adjustment, much faster than the typical 3:32 bike course rating for Kona.

Even with the quick conditions, the new course records that were set today broke the old records by a country mile. We’ve seen two new overall course records by the two winners, Dani improving on her 2016 time by 20 minutes and Patrick on last year’s time by nine minutes. There were also records on the swim by Lucy Charles and agegrouper Jan Sibbersen who swam a 46:30. We’ve also seen new bike course records by Dani improving on Karin Thürig’s 2011 time of 4:44 – an improvement of 18 minutes! – and by Cam Wurf who improved his bike split from last year by almost four minutes.
