Course Conditions
As always, IM Wales was hard with only slow times. Joe Skipper had some issues on the bike losing a fair amount of time, but was still able to post a new course record, improving on Arnaud Guillaux’s time from 2019 by more than 12 minutes. Of course, this required him also posting a new run course record – his 2:37 marathon was 11 minutes quicker than the 2011 time set by Jeremy Jurkiewicz with a 2:48.
