Race Conditions
This year’s IM Mont Tremblant was surprisingly slow – an adjustment of -8:27 was markedly slower than the new course rating of 4:02. This seems to be caused by a very slow swim – the fastest male Pros were over 55 minutes and only Amanda Stevens broke one hour on the female side. There were also a couple of athletes racing tired and a bit slower than what they are normally able to race.
The surprise of the day was Iron-rookie Chris Leiferman winning the race, he also posted a new run course record.
