Ironman Lake Placid 2018 – Analyzing Results

IMLakePlacidCourse Conditions

The conditions in Lake Placid appeared to be quite slow, an adjustment of -12:18 is another four minutes slower than last year. Especially the bike (adjustment of -8:12) appears to have been challenging (wind, rain?).

Kona Qualifying

Here are the main developments:

  • Heather Jackson “validated” her Kona slot with a win.
  • Jodie Robertson scored enough points to be safe for a July slot. (Sarah Piampiano was already safe before Lake Placid.)
  • Jen Annett has moved into the Top 28 spots for now, but she could still fall out of the slots depending on the results of the other races in the July period. (For details, have a look at my “Kona 2018 Qualifying Before the Final July Races” analysis.)
