Ironman Netherlands 2017 – Analyzing Results

Race Conditions

There were some changes to the course at IM Netherlands this year, most notably the bike has been re-routed, apparently leading to much faster times on the bike. An adjustment of 1:24 compared to the previous bike rating of -4:20 means that the new bike course has been quicker by almost six minutes, also leading to a comparable difference in overall times.

Kona Qualifying Implications

On the male side Michael Weiss should have secured a Kona slot, as well as Harry Wiltshire who finally managed to have a good result after a DQ at IM UK two weeks ago and a DNF in Zürich just one week ago.

Bas Diederen, Miquel Blanchard and Brooke Brown have had a good race in Maastricht but haven’t been able to score enough points to jump into the ranks eligible for an August slot.

KPR points and Prize Money

IM Mont Tremblant is a P-2000 race. It has a total prize purse of 40.000 US$.

Male Race Participants

The strength of the field is 4% of a typical Kona field.

There is a number of athletes that are unlikely to race, either because they are likely to focus on the fall season (such as Leon Griffin) or have already qualified for Kona (such as Reinaldo Colucci). Both are intact not racing.

Kona Qualifying

Male Race Participants

A few athletes are looking to score some more points in order to qualify for Kona:

  • Marino Vanhoenacker (in case he’s interested in a slot) would be okay with a podium finish.
  • Chris McDonald and Andreas Raelert will need a win to get close to qualifying, but even then a slot is not safe for Andreas.

Female Race Participants

Lauren Brandon is already qualified, but she announced that she still plans to race Mont Tremblant. Others will still need some points:

  • Rachel Joyce (in case she decides to race again so soon after Whistler) would need a fifth place to be safe for a slot.
  • Darbi Roberts, Magali Tisseyre and Brooke Brown will need a second place or a win if they want to have a chance to make it to Kona.

Kona Qualifying

Michelle Vesterby, Celine Schwerer and also very likely Corinne Abraham have already qualified in July. But there are a few others that can still qualify in August with a good result in Copenhagen:

  • Kristin Moeller should be okay with a fifth place finish, she has also registered for a number of other races.
  • Jeanne Collonge needs at least a podium finish to improve her total.
  • Pamela Tastets and Darbi Roberts will need at least a second place to have a reasonable chance for an August slot.

KPR points and Prize Money

IM Sweden is a P-2000 race. It is an MPRO-only race and has a total prize purse of 40.000 US$.

Male Race Participants

The strength of the field is 12% of a typical Kona field.

There is a number of athletes that probably planned to do IM Sweden in case they missed qualifying (such as Thiago Vinhal, David Plese, Mark Duelsen or Daniel Fontana). As indicated by the “*” a lot of athletes have also registered for other Ironman races a week before or even on the same weekend. It is quite likely that there will be some changes before race day.

Kona Qualifying

There are a few athletes that still have a chance to qualify for Kona with a good result in Sweden:

  • Giulio Molinari, Denis Chevrot and Harry Wiltshire already have a good number of points, a fifth place or better should be enough for them to get an August slot.
  • Daniil Sapunov, Michael Weiss, Cameron Wurf, Markus Fachbach, Justin Daerr and Nick Baldwin need at least a podium, probably even a second place.

Among the field, Thiago Vinhal, David Plese, Marc Duelsen and Daniel Fontana have already qualified in July.

Ironman Canada 2017 (Whistler) – Analyzing Results

Race Conditions

The times at IM Canada have been quite slow this year: Apart from 2015 when unexpected, cold rain impacted a lot of the Pros, the conditions were the slowest in Whistler so far. Nonetheless the positioning of the race (it was the last race before the first Kona cutoff) led to a strong field and a number of new course records. The top three bike times were faster than the 2013 record by Uli Brömme (5:13),  the new record is Rachel McBride’s 5:06:41. While Uli still holds the run course record (3:06) she also lost the overall record (was 9:28). Again, the top three finishers were able to break her time, Linsey Corbin holds the new course record with her time of 9:17:12.

Female Race Results

The first two legs were dominated by Rachel McBride who posted both the fastest swim and bike times. In T2 she was leading by almost seven minutes. But then the faster runners showed their strengths: Linsey Corbin ran the day’s fastest marathon (3:08) and took the lead shortly before the half marathon mark. Linsey eventually won by more than seven minutes over Jen Annett who outran Rachel by eleven minutes. Rachel nonetheless had a solid day and was happy to hang on for third place.

Rachel Joyce needed a third place for a secure Kona slot, she was struggling a bit all day (probably not yet fully recovered from her win at IM Whistler less than two months ago) and couldn’t close the gap to the podium. Rachel finished fourth and has to hope for a number of rolldowns if she wants to make it to Kona.

Linsey was already safe for Kona before the race – she has gained some confidence for October. Rachel and the other potential Kona qualifiers Danielle Mack and Leslie Miller couldn’t score enough points to climb into the Top 28 points slots, so a bit surprisingly no additional Canada racers were able to grab a slot.
