  • Analysis of Performances at the 'Ironman Hawaii Triathlon' and Its
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Analysis of performances at the ‘Ironman Hawaii triathlon’ and its qualifier events with respect to nationality Stiefel, M ; Knechtle, B ; Rüst, C A ; Rosemann, T Abstract: The Ironman World Championship in Hawaii is assumed to be the most challenging Ironman triathlon in the world. Athletes intending to compete in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ need to qualify. The aims of this study were (i) to compare the participation of athletes between ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and its qualifier races regarding their origin, and (ii) to compare the top ten performances of selected nations in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ with the top ten performances of the same nations in qualifier races within one year. All finishers in 2010 in both ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and in the qualifier races were analyzed regarding nationality, sexand performance of finishers. For women, a higher percentage (27.2%) finished in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ compared to the qualifiers (18.9%). For men, a higher percentage (81.1%) finished in the qualifiers comparedto ‘Ironman Hawaii’ (72.8%). In both ‘Ironman Hawaii’ and in the qualifiers, most finishers originated from the USA, followed by athletes from Germany and Canada. When the split and overall race times of the top ten finishers of the fastest nations were compared between the qualifiers and ‘Ironman Hawaii’, split and overall races times were faster in both women and men in the qualifiers compared to ‘Ironman Hawaii’. In the qualifiers, the fastest women originated from the USA (551±14 min), followed by athletes from Germany (563±12 min) and Switzerland (574±22 min).

    2 TOP THREE MEN PETE JACOBS Australia • 08:18:37 At only 30 years old, Pete Jacobs already has four top-10 finishes at the IRON- MAN World Championship. His second-place finish in 2011 prepared him for this year’s race where he claimed his first IRONMAN World Championship title. Jacobs has been solid this season with four wins at IRONMAN qualifying races — includ- ing his third consecutive win at the brutally hot Cobra Energy Drink IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines—and second place at IRONMAN Lake Placid behind Andy Potts. He’s had the fastest run split the last two years, going 2:41:05 in 2010 (third-fast- est ever) and 2:42:29 last year. This year, he had the third fastest run split and an improved bike, which gave him the edge he needed to claim the title. ANDREAS RAELERT Germany • 08:23:40 In 2012 Andreas Raelert continued to show that he only knows the podium when it comes to the IRONMAN World Championship. He returned to Kona, where he took third place last year, and secured second-place at this year’s event. With his result, it became the second time (2010 and 2012) the German has finished in the number two spot. He also has two third-place finishes in Kona, coming in 2009 (IRONMAN World Championship debut) and in 2011. In 2012, Raelert raced the Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship in Frankfurt, finishing fourth after a crash on the bike. His 2012 IRONMAN World Championship race had the added bonus of his brother, Michael, racing with him.
