Course Conditions
Vitoria was a pretty quick course, an adjustment of 20:10 makes it about as fast as the races in Austria, Roth or Barcelona. Most of the “speed” comes from a fast bike course (adjustment of 18:28).
As it was the first “official” Ironman on this course, all the fastest legs are “new” course records (swim by Josh Amberger and Judith Corachan, bike, run and overall by the winners Heather Jackson and Eneko Llanos).
Kona Qualifying
IM Vitoria had two Kona Pro slots, one for the men and one for the women. Both winners of the race were already qualified, so these slots go to
- Nina Derron
and - Josh Amberger.
As always, the full list of qualified athletes can be found on the Kona 2019 page.
