Race Conditions
With a course rating of -12:47, Lanzarote is a very slow course – but this year it was even slower: Strong winds led to a bike adjustment of -31:21, the second slowest only to the “legendary” bike leg of the last IM St. George in 2012. Not only did this lead to slow bike times, but also to a pretty high number of DNFs (42% for the men, 21% for the women Pros).
Male Race Results
Christian Kramer was leading the race for a long time and with a 5:05 had the best bike leg and had a solid sub-3 marathon. But in his second Ironman, Italian Alessandro Degasperi had a great 2:47:15 run and took the lead 3k from the finish. Third place went to Mauro Baertsch who was able to beat his expected time by almost 30 minutes.
