Course Rating
Conditions were favorable for fast times. The adjustment of 26:51 (mainly because of a very fast bike) was the fastest ever in Busselton, leading to a new course rating of 14:36.
Male Race Results
Once Denis Chevrot took the lead on the finishing part of the bike, he didn’t let go of the lead. His superb splits (fastest swim, fifth fastest bike, and fastest run) gave him a comfortable margin in the end, but he had to work hard for his win all day long. Lots of Australian contenders had to drop out (among them Fettell, Kemp, Gambles and Dellow), so the race ended with a European Top 5: Patrik Nilsson (recent winner of IM Malaysia) finished second, followed by Per Bittner in third. Roman Guillaume more or less took care of Kona qualifying with his fourth place, followed by veteran Mike Schifferle.
Any race recap of Western Australia would be incomplete without mentioning Jason Shortis: Jason finished his 83rd IM-distance race and ended his long career.

Female Race Results
Liz Blatchford took control of the race from the start, leading the field after the swim and in the early parts of the bike. However, she then received two 4-minute drafting penalties, so her third place finish leaves a lot of „what if“ questions. Yvonne Van Vlerken is in a similar situation, she had two crashes on the bike and had the medicals look her over. At some point she was fighting for third place but ran a little bit out of gas. Still, her fifth place gives her some more points for Kona 2015.
The bike leg was dominated by Mareen Hufe who entered T2 with a 7-minute lead. She ran a solid marathon, but it wasn’t quite enough to hold on to the lead as Britta Martin (German-born but now starting for New Zealand) posted a 3:00:00 marathon, winning by almost four minutes. Mareen managed to hold off the speedy runners Liz Blatchford and super-mom Beth Gerdes, who ran a 2:58 marathon just six months after giving birth to daughter Wynne.
The fast conditions resulted in three new course records: Britta posted a new overall record (improving Gina Crawford’s 8:59:24), Mareen improved her own bike record (4:47:53) from last year, and Beth posted a new run record (improving on Liz Lyles 3:00:37 from last year).
