Ironman Florida 2014 – Analyzing Results

Race Conditions

TimeTrialStart

On race day, there were currents and riptides that did not allow for a safe swim. After the cancellation, the race was started in a time trial fashion, with athletes starting every 30 seconds (see photo on right, photo credit Ironman.com).

Of course, the times from this year are not really comparable to a „normal“ Ironman race with a swim. Therefore, I can’t be using the Florida results in my ratings. However, I was able to do a rough comparison of the raw bike and run times to expected times before the race, allowing my to assess how fast the course was and if an athlete had a good race. This analysis also shows that the bike was relatively slow for Florida (adjustment of 7:32 compared to a bike rating of 15:06). This was probably caused by the cold and windy conditions. The run was pretty quick for Florida, but still a bit slower than last year’s ideal racing conditions.

Male Race Results

Lionel Sanders was racing his first full distance race. After the cancellation of the swim he was the clear favorite, quickly took control of the race and built a huge lead into T2. On the run, he even increased his lead, delivering the fastest bike and faster run, winning by almost 20 minutes. Behind Lionel, Tom Lowe had a good start to the 2014 season finishing second, and Maxim Kriat took the last spot on the podium. Ben Hoffman validated his Kona slot with a 10th place.

Female Race Results

The result of the female race was also evident early on, with Yvonne Van Vlerken posting the fastest bike and run and winning by 35 minutes! Second across the line was Ashley Clifford, but in the time trial start she had started before Camilla Lindholm and her final time was 27 seconds slower, so Camilla ended up second and Ashley was third.

Ironman Fortaleza 2014 (Nov 9th) – Predictions

Fortaleza

This is the first race on this course. Therefore, there are no previous results and course ratings. The expected times are based on a „neutral“ course, but usually courses are quite a bit faster (my guess is in the area of 10 to 15 minutes).

Updates

There are a few updates to the published start list that the athletes have announced:

  • Brandon Marsh has ended his 2014 season.
  • Tim O’Donnell will probably start in Arizona.
  • Mirinda Carfrae has announced she will not start in Fortalezza this year.
  • Leanda Cave has ended her season with a severe cold.

(Nov 8th) After registration, a few more athletes won’t be starting:

  • Vanessa Gianini
  • Hillary Biscay
  • Igor Amorelli
  • Camilla Lindholm (still on the list, but won’t be starting after placing 2nd in Florida)

There are also two additions:

  • Bib #46 – Daniel Fontana (ITA) – expected at 8:46:37
  • Bib #47 – Antonio Marcos de Souza (BRA)

KPR points and Prize Money

IM Fortaleza has 2000 KPR points for the winner. It has a total prize purse of 75k$.

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

The race favorites are three athletes that have started in Kona – but with very different results. Ben finished second (and if he starts will probably be focused on validating), Andrew had a DNF (and will be looking to deliver a good result) and TO had a frustrating 3:52 marathon (he might do Arizona instead of Florida). If all of them are not in great shape for Florida, then the race will be hotly contested between three other solid IM racers:

  • Ben Hoffman: 31% (2-1)
  • Andrew Starykowicz: 24% (3-1)
  • Timothy O’Donnell: 20% (4-1)
  • Maxim Kriat: 9% (10-1)
  • Tom Lowe: 7% (13-1)
  • Pedro Gomes: 6% (14-1)

Female Race Participants

As for the men, the top contenders have started in Kona: Yvonne had a DNF, and Leanda finished 18th – both will be looking for a good Florida result:

  • Yvonne Van Vlerken: 64% (1-1)
  • Leanda Cave: 23% (3-1)
  • Ashley Clifford: 4% (23-1)
  • Tamara Kozulina: 4% (26-1)
  • Jessie Donavan: 4% (27-1)

Ironman World Championships Kona 2014 – Analyzing Results

Thanks to the support of VeloDynamics, I was again be able to offer my “Live Predictions” during the race. The page is still up at http://kona.trirating.com, and is probably the easiest way to look at the actual splits with capabilities for sorting the data. Please check it out!

I will likely analyze the race in more detail in future posts, today I just want to put up my base analysis looking at how fast (or slow?) Kona was in 2014, and how each of the athletes performed relative to their previous results.

Race Conditions

Even if this year’s race was a bit slower than last year (adjustments 2014: 1:11 vs. 2013: 3:53), it was still a relatively quick race for Kona (course rating -3:42). The swim and bike were typically slow for Kona, but conditions on the run appeared to be quite good. It sounded to me that athletes had to respect the tough Kona conditions – and there were some big explosions for those who didn’t or couldn’t: In addition to the DNFs, there were six athletes that were more than an hour slower than expected.

Interview with Filip Ospaly for Kona 2014

Filip Haugesund

Filip has had a great career racing Olympic distance (participating three times in the Olypmics and winning a number of World Cup races) and had also great results in 70.3s (2nd place in the 2010 World Championships) . He finished his first IM, Florida 2013, with a time of 7:58 in third place. He had some more good results in European of 70.3s, then secured his Kona slot by finishing fourth in Switzerland. As is typical for athletes coming up from the shorter distances, his swim in great and should easily place him in the front pack. Evidenced by his fast time in Florida, he has the engine for fast bike and run times over the longer distance, but it is a bit doubtful what he will be able to do in the tough condition and deep field in Kona. He certainly has a potential similar to Ivan Rana (who finished 6th in hist first appearance in Kona), but it remains to be seen if he will be able to perform in a hot race such as Kona.

Thorsten: How was your season so far?

Filip: Up and down. The first half I didn’t race because of two meniscus arthroscopies (left in mid April, right at the end of May).Then it went up with victories in Haugesund (Ironman 70.3),  Opava (Czech Cup race) and 4th place in Zurich (Ironman) – all races in July. And then down again at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant.

T: What makes Kona special for you?

F: Kona is just another course. I don’t think it’s particularly beautiful, there are nicer ones. But with the climate and the strength of the field, it is certainly the hardest race. It is the World Championships. All the athletes will have prepared for this race very well and want to deliver their best performances. The 55 best athletes will be on the start line … 10 can win and another 20 can be on the podium …

T: Are you doing anything special in your Kona prep?

F: This will be my first time to race in Kona. The one big change is that I will be on the Big Island from early September. There are no changes to the  training compared to what I’ve done in the past.

T: What are your goals for the race?

F: One of my sponsors (Mr. Zdenek Kepak) has given me my goals for this race – to improve the Czech records on this course (Pete Vabrousek holds it for the best place with a 19th in 2002 and Martin Matula for the fastest time with a 8:48:50 from 2006). So this is my goal and I think it is realistic.

T: Any sponsor mentions you’d like to get in?

F: I want to thank all my sponsor for their support: EKOL, Equinox, eMMe, Cannondale, Czech Tri Series, FORD and others. For this race special thanks to Mr. Zdenek Kepak, who made it possible for me to stay on the Big Island for more than a month with my wife and our children!
