Ironman Western Australia 2023 – Analyzing Results

IMWACourse Conditions

As has often been the case in recent years, IM Western Australia has been a fast final race of the year. This year conditions seemed especially favorable, and the bike and run were even quicker than normal. On the men’s side, Matt Burton rode a sub-4 bike leg, improving his own bike course record from last year. Winner Daniel Baekkegard set a new run course record of 2:37 (improving Max Neumann’s time from last year) and also an overall new course record (besting Ali Brownlee’s 2019 time). On the women’s side, we’ve seen a new bike course record by Lisa Norden and a new overall course record by Fenella Langridge, both improving on Teresa Adam’s times from 2019. Lisa’s bike time was also quicker than Daniela Ryf’s bike from Challenge Roth this year and is now the quickest IM bike time.
