Injury List

In early July, Terenzo Bozzone was in an accident and severely injured. He’s had surgery to repair a broken cheekbone and by early August is slowly easing back into training. He has accepted his July slot, and he has posted on his Instagram feed that he’s working hard to be on the Kona start line. Unfortunately, Terenzo announced on September 27th in an Instagram post that he won’t be able to race because his body “isn’t quite ready to compete at the level necessary and a level that would reflect the respect I have for the event and the competitors”.

On September 12th, Jan Frodeno announced on Instagram that he’s suffered a stress fracture in his hip and won’t be able to race Kona this year.

On September 23rd Helle Frederiksen posted on Instagram that she’s struggling with an inflammation in her left foot and hasn’t been able to run for two weeks. She still has three weeks and will travel to Kona, hoping to be able to start the race and go for a podium finish.

On September 25th Annabel Luxford posted on Instagram that she won’t be racing Kona after struggling with respiratory infections and asthma for six months.

On September 30th Mel Hauschildt posted on Instagram that she will need surgery on her right leg for Endofibrosis and is out of Kona.

On October 2nd Boris Stein posted that his body needs some more time after his accident in Nice to make it pain-free and in good shape to the starting line and that he will fly back home to Germany after his training camp in Texas.

When the bib list was released by Ironman on October 3rd, Nick Kastelein was missing from the list even though qualified. Apparently he is still dealing with the running injury that also kept him from racing at the 70.3 World Championships.

On October 4th Ben Hoffman announced in an Instagram post that he has suffered a sacral stress fracture and won’t be racing Kona.

There are quite a few athletes who have already secured their Kona slots and are unlikely to race (e.g. Philipp Koutny, Marc Duelsen, Thiago Vinhal). Cameron Wurf and Jens Petersen-Bach are also safe but it’s unclear if they want to race another Ironman before Kona.

Ironman Netherlands 2018 (Maastricht) – Analyzing Results

IMMaastrichtLogoThe analysis for IM Maastricht is supported by Ruud de Haan and his Dutch website Trikipedia.nl.

Update May 29th, 2019: Eight months(!) after the race, a Dutch judge has reversed the DQs and appointed Els Visser as the winner of IM Maastricht. There is no information about Sonia Bracegirdle or the impact on the prize money.

Update Sept 22nd: Seven weeks after the race there is news that the race results have been changed (Instagram post by Angela Naeth). I have not seen anything official yet, but possibly race winner Els Visser and third place finisher Sonia Bracegirdle have been DQ’d for cutting the course in the swim. This would make Yvonne Van Vlerken the winner of the race and also subtly change the points allocation so that Angela has now received a late Kona slot. I will update as more facts become known. Dutch Triathlon website 3athlon.nl has some statements from NTB, the Dutch national governing body, confirming the DQs (Dutch language).

Course Conditions

This year’s IM Maastricht was quite slow, it started with a very slow swim (adjustment of -3:14), a relatively quick bike and a slow run. Almost every Pro athlete had at least one “bad” leg. Els Visser set a new bike course record, she was able to almost break five hours and improved on Brooke Brown’s 2017 time by almost 14 minutes.

Kona Qualifying

The following athletes improved their chances for an August Kona slot:

  • Yvonne Van Vlerken (now 5.100 points) is safe for a slot, but she has already indicated that she is going to decline her slot
  • Katja Konschak (now 4.110) is in the bubble. But not counting Yvonne she is the athlete with the most points looking for an August slot, and she is quite likely to receive a slot.

Haley Chura hasn’t been able to improve her total (still 3.875), just as Camilla Lindholm after her DNF (still 3.920). Both are still within the Top 7, but in the last races in Sweden and Mont Tremblant that are likely to overtake them.

Els Visser (3.130) and Angela Naeth (3.425) have improved their total but are still short of getting into the Top 7.
