Just looked at the seedings.
Bike times are off by a mile!
Looking at June. Same course but 170km -> Fastest split was around 5.13
I expect the first ladies to do around 5.24. Looking at wind forcast, headwinds on the way back it might even be slower. But lets see tomorrow!
Hello Robert,
I understand your logic but I think it’s going to be way quicker than what you have in mind.
(1) Some logic (based on % slower than Kona) in my Nice Rating Report.
(2) The men also rode quicker than most expected in 2023 – basically Sam rode the same time for the longer course than Cam Wurf did in the men’s IM France that year. (So we’d look at a 5:16.)
(3) I also think that Lucy’s time at IM France 2023 was somewhat “soft” – for example Corinne Abraham rode a 5:03 in 2018 (on a slightly different course).
(4) This will be the first time that a deep world-class female field will stack this course, and some will want to go extra hard not the bike. Another pointer to a quicker time than what Lucy rode in June.
But we’ll see in less than 24 hours!
