When is ironman texas 2018

Pro Jen Anett, who rode the course what would have been a world record bike course time chastised Ironman on the post:. I will also like to bring up the fact that last year the male Ironman bike record was broken and recognized, even tho [sic] the course was short.

This morning, Ironman reversed course, issuing a statement to Triathlete that the records would be recognized:. Congratulations to all athletes who set world best times in both overall and individual discipline categories. Though the world record times will be honored, many wonder if the asterisk has truly been removed.

After all, criticism already abounds about the shortened course and lack of race officials to verify a fair race. In an email, she wrote:.

The IM Texas bike course was apparently no different to last year so it seemed very strange that they would call this years course short and not last years. They also made a point in race brief that the run course was lengthened this year to make it exactly a full marathon.

I was obviously happy that the decision was changed to accept the times. To not count the record would be telling all the first time agers who completed the course that they are indeed not Ironman finishers. In this sport, it is so hard to compare the time on one course to the time on another. There is also going to be a bit of variance within the courses.

Ironman needs to have an acceptable level of variance to still count the race as an official Ironman. If you consider Ironman Texas as an Ironman, than the times need to count. Do I think that because Ironman accepted this as a brand best time that I am the best Ironman athlete? Absolutely not. I put together the best race I possibly could have on a fast course where the weather and competition promoted very fast times.

The most frustrating thing to me is to be put in the situation where there is so much negative attention and focus on the course issues that a lot of really great feats and outstanding stories that would be so great and positive for the sport are getting lost as result. Hopefully when the dust settles, these great stories can get some of the attention they deserve. Factors such as conditions, competition, strategy, preparation, and fortune can and will affect times.
