Gomez Points

Javier has had a lot of success on the shorter distances: With multiple ITU World Championships and an Olympic Silver Medal, he is one of the most decorated triathletes. He has started to dabble on the 70.3 distance for the last years and has also been very successful, including two 70.3 World titles. With the Olympics moving to the sprint distance, he has decided to finally step up to Ironman racing. Everyone will be watching the 35-year old Kona rookie, evoking a comparison to Jan Frodeno who finished third in his first Kona race. (Jan was almost the same age when he raced his first Kona in 2015, finishing third.)

Javi’s first Ironman was a sub-8, second-place finish at the Asia/Pacific Championships in Cairns. He was racing conservatively, swimming with the front group (as expected) and then stayed with the group for the bike leg. After that he ran most of the marathon with Braden Currie, posting a 2:41 and finishing second. He was following a similar race plan for the 70.3 Championships: Swim well, save energy on the bike and then post a fast run. He had some issues on the half marathon in Port Elizabeth, and while a third place wasn’t what he was hoping for, it’s still a solid result against competition such as Jan Frodeno and Alistair Brownlee. Javier should be able to swim with the front group in Kona, but it’s unlikely that he’s going to change the dynamics of the race on the bike. It’s hard to predict his bike capabilities after just one Ironman race, but it’s quite likely that Kona 2018 is going to be the hardest 180k bike leg he has ever done. If he manages to execute that well and then still have a good run, he’ll be in the mix on the marathon for a podium finish.

Ironman Chattanooga 2018 – Analyzing Results

IMChooIM Chattanooga 2018 was forced to cancel the swim, and the race was started with a time-trial start on the bike. Results are not eligible for course records, otherwise Cody Beals 4:20 would have been a new bike course record. (Matt Russell and Kirill Kotshegarov were also under the still-standing record of 4:27:28 by Marino Vanhoenacker.)

Male Race Results

Cody Beals won his second IM and secured his slot for Kona 2019.

Military Division at Ironman Hawaii

Introduction

This section has been written by Staff Seargent Bradley T. Williams who has served in the Air Force from 2004 to 2014 before becoming a Professional triathlete. If you have any further information or official results from the years that we are missing, please contact Brad or me so we can update this information.

IRONMAN has a long history and connection with the military, dating all the way back to the first IRONMAN in 1978. It all started with Naval Commander John Collins coming up with the first IRONMAN distance race, which was then won by a Navy Communications Specialist, Gordon Haller. Since then the military has had strong ties to the sport of triathlon and IRONMAN.

From the research that we have done the Military Category has existed since as early as 1996 at the IRONMAN World Championships. For the longest time that division was for US service members only, 2015 marked the first year that the division was opened up to military members from around the world. From 1996 to 2013 the slot allocation system changed throughout the years. At one point each service branch (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy) were given slots by IRONMAN and they allocated them to their athletes. The number of slots decreased over the years, from as high as five men and three women per service branch all the way down to where it was one male and one female slot in 2013.

In 2014 there was not an “official qualification” process, but there was still a military division. You had to qualify outright, just like any other athlete to compete in the division, and also had to prove military service and possibly endorsement from your country/branch of service. Right around the time of the 70.3 World Championships in 2014, IRONMAN announced the new military division and plans for it. The first qualifying race with military only slots was to be held at Superfrog 70.3, which was only a few weeks before. There were 20 slots allocated to the military athletes racing in 2014.

Since 2014 select races have been set as military qualifying events, usually two to three per year. Since the inception of the program Superfrog 70.3, Bahrain 70.3, Wiesbaden 70.3, and IRONMAN Cairns have all had slots. We are unsure of what races had IRONMAN World Championship slots for 2018 other than Superfrog 70.3, which has 15 total slots.

Kona 2018 Resources

Here is a list of resources for Kona 2018 (race on Saturday, October 13th):

Some posts from other Triathlon media:

  • Tim Heming’s discussion for the British “220 Triathlon” magazine about his Top 10 Kona Predictions for the Men and Women
  • Australian Triathlete’s preview of the Kona contenders and the expected timelines
  • Triathlete USA also has a set of Kona previews: “Can anyone beat Daniela Ryf?” and “Will Patrick Lange Repeat?“
  • Talbot Cox has a whole series of videos, e.g. on Sebastian Kienle, Lionel Sanders or Daniela Ryf
  • The schedule for “Breakfast with Bob” (starting Monday) can be found here. (If you have a chance to watch it live, by all means do so – most of the Pros are really friendly and still relaxed.)
  • Ironman will do live shows Tuesday to Friday at 8am Hawaiian time (2pm ET) on their Facebook channel (http://facebook.com/IRONMANnow). That’s also where the race will be shown on Saturday.
  • Talbot Cox has a series of videos in his “Kona 2018” series on YouTube.
  • The Ironwomen podcast has interviews with most of the female Pros on their Facebook page. They will also do live coverage of the race on Saturday focused on the female race.
  • WitsupLogoWitsup and Stef Hanson have a YouTube playlist “Kona Chatter 2018” with the top female Pros.

I’ll add to this list as soon as my friends and I release more information closer to the race!
