Course Conditions
With only seven athletes, there isn’t much data to work with, but the times were roughly “on average” for Vitoria. This analysis leaves out the “outliers” of Julie Derron going significantly faster than expected and Marjolaine Pierre who was slower than expected but was probably focused on securing her Kona slot.
Winner Julie posted two new course records: A new fastest run (improving on Gurutze Frades’ 2023 marathon) and a new overall course record (bettering the time set by Kat Matthews just last year).
Kona Qualifying
Vitoria had three Pro slots for Kona. These will be offered to
- Julie Derron, Lottie Lucas and Marjolaine Pierre.
Anne Haug didn’t finish, she also didn’t validate her AQ slot. You can find all qualifiers here.
