Introduction

Thank you for downloading what is the third of my Rating Reports. If you have read one of my earlier

reports, you may have noticed that I’ve used a new title photo. Rich Cruse was kind enough to send

my one of his great photos for the title. Thanks, Rich – please have a look at his other photos at

This “summer” report looks forward to the July races that will decide the first wave of Kona PRO

qualifiers. For those not familiar with the “Kona Pro Rankings”, professional athletes can score points

in up to five Ironman and up to three 70.3 races during the year. The more “prestige” a race has the

more points are assigned, from 6.000 points for the winner (IM Hawaii) to 4.000 (regional

championships such as IM Melbourne, IM Germany and IM New York), down to only 2.000 or 1.000

points for the lower tier races. For 70.3s there are fewer points, from 3.000 (70.3 championship in Las

Vegas) down to 500 points for the winner. Points are assigned pretty far down the professional field, as

long as you finish a race you will score at least a few points. An athlete that wants to qualify for Kona

also has to validate his slot by finishing at least one full Ironman distance race outside of Kona. The

spots are assigned in two waves: At the end of July 40 male and 25 female slots are given out

(including a roll-down if athletes decline their slots), at the end of August another 10 male and 5

female spots.

The information is this report will help you get a better picture of how these July races are going to

influence the KPR standings. I have included the top 5 of all 2012 Kona qualifier races (starting with

IM Wales and IM Wisconsin in September 2011). Using race adjustments, I can compare results from

different courses, and I extracted the best 2012 performances and updated my TOP 10 ratings.

I also have a close look at the current KPR standings and discuss which athletes we can expect to

qualify for Kona, who needs results from the upcoming races and who probably will not make it this

year. The main contenders for Kona are already pretty obvious, so I also have a look at the winning

odds for Kona 2012 – there will probably be some movement after the summer races and you can find

updated versions on the website at trirating.com.

I hope that the material in this rating report is interesting for you and that it helps to make the July

races even more interesting. Enjoy this report and let me know if you any other analysis ideas!

TOP 10 Ratings

This section shows the TOP 10 Ratings after the June IMs (last races are IM France and CdA).

Men

The men’s TOP10 are dominated by Germany (4 athletes, 5 if you count German-born Dirk Bockel)

and Australia (3 athletes). No US athletes in sight – the best-rated American is Jordan Rapp at #12.

KPR Standings

As discussed in the introduction, WTC will assign 40 slots for men and 25 for women at the end of

July based on KPR points. Last year, the July cutoff numbers were 3.115 for men and 5.035 for

women. There is a similar number of races to qualify this year – most of the new races such as IM

New York and IM Mont Tremblant are in August. However, it looks as if this year a higher number of

points will be needed for qualifying – at this point, with 3.100 points you are ranked 45th (Ronnie

Schildknecht), but that is before all the July races where a lot of points are for grabs. (Apparently,

athletes are racing a bit more strategic, focusing on big point races, or racing more often in 70.3s in

order to get some extra points.) The cutoff is not too easy to predict, but I’ll assume that athletes with

more than 3.800 points for the men will get a slot at the end of July. For the women, 5.100 points (as

last year) should be enough to get a July slot.

Some observations (the numbers indicate the position in last year’s Kona race and the number of KPR

points):

Enough KPR points,

but not validated

Needs KPR points,

not validated

Needs KPR points,

already validated

New Hawaii qualifiers

Pete Jacobs

2nd

, 6.425 points

Was injured, but recently

started and won the 70.3 in Cairns. Plans to race IM

Lake Placid.

Chris Lieto

29th, 3.310 points

Had a DNF in Coeur

d’Alene, in a recent interview he indicated he

will probably focus on the

Las Vegas 70.3

championships.

Rasmus Henning

14th, 3.440 points

I’m sure Rasmus is burning

to get back to Kona and improve on his results. A

few points from a 70.3

should be enough for him to

get enough points.

David Dellow

5.000 points

He certainly has the

potential to crack the TOP10 in Kona, but I’m not

sure if he’ll be able to do

better on his first try.

Andreas Raelert

3rd, 5.560 points

Scheduled to start in IM

Germany, has had a pretty

solid build up so far

Andy Potts

17th, 2.840 points

Andy was racing a lot of

shorter races in the first half

of the year, but now he’s on

the start list for IM Lake

Placid. Maybe he wants to

focus on Kona in the second

half of the year.

Marino Vanhoenacker

DNF, 3.230 points

Is on the startlist for IM

Germany, unless things go

wrong he will make it into

the July qualifiers.

Paul Matthews

4.500 points

Joshua Rix

4.095 points

I don’t know much about

these athletes.

Andi Boecherer

8th, 3.650 points

Had a DNF in South Africa,

wanted to start in Lanzarote

but withdrew before the

start. As far as I know, no

summer race scheduled.

Tom Lowe

11th, 2.690 points

Tom is on the start list for

Austria – a fifth place there

would give him another

1.200 points which should

be enough for him to make

it into the July qualifiers.

Sebastian Kienle

-, 3.070 points

I’m pretty sure Sebastian

hoped to have enough

points by now. He will need

another solid result, and I’m

not sure a 70.3 win will be

enough for him.

Michael Raelert

3.830 points

He’s right on the edge of the

“qualifying bubble” as I see

it. His premier race in Kona

will be anticipated, but I

think he’s in a similar

position to David Dellow:

TOP10, but probably not a

candidate to win.

Faris Al-Sultan

10th, 3.589 points

He’s on the start list for

Austria, so as long he

finishes, he’ll make it to Kona. It remains to be seen

how fresh he’s going to be

in October – in 2011 he was

cooked after winning IM

Germany.

Matty Reed

27th, 2.215

Not sure if Kona 2011 was

his one try on the Ironman

distance. Couldn’t find him on any IM start list.

Justin Daerr

-, 3.020 points

“JD” has a great result in

Texas and would probably

race well in the Kona heat. Not sure if he’s interested to

qualify and what his plans

are.

Daniel Fontana

12th, 3.520 points

Also on the Austria start

list.

Maik Twelsiek

22nd

, 2.430

On the list for Lake Placid,

but even a win there will

probably not be enough to

qualify.


Women

Next up is a look at the current women’s standing:


1. Caroline Steffen CHE 9770

number of KPR points):

Enough KPR points,

but not validated

Needs KPR points,

not validated

Needs KPR points,

New Hawaii qualifiers

Heather Wurtele

8th, 4.620 points

After her frustrating DNF in

CdA, she’s trying to race

IM Germany.

Angela Naeth

-, 3.000 points

Not sure if she’s interested

in racing in Kona this year.

Not on any IM start list.

Michelle Vesterby

-, 4.440 points

Has won IM Lanzarote and

placed well in Melbourne,

but probably needs a few

more points.

Meredith Kessler

7.440 points

Already a two time winner

this year, she’s got some

time to prepare for the heat

in Kona – but will probably

race Canada.

Melissa Rollison

-, 4.500 points

She’s had an injury and

couldn’t validate her spot in

Cairns. Probably going to

focus on healing for now.

Catriona Morrison

11th, 2.300 points

Only has her Kona points so

far. Not sure of her 2012

plans.

Virginia Berasategui

10th, 3.620 points

I hope she’s got a 70.3 race

on her schedule, otherwise

she’ll probably miss Kona

this year.

Gina Crawford

6.335 points

Has managed to post solid

results after the birth of her

son Benjamin.

Yvonne van Vlercken

DNF, 1.760 points

She’s trying to battle it out

with Carolin Steffen (and

Heather Wurtele) in

Germany.


Kona Predictions

Even if the Kona field is not “official” yet, based on the KPR standings and my rating system, I can

put together a start list based on the results so far and my rating system. There may be some movement

on the cut-off-line, but the names of the main players are already quite certain. Based on the field and

their previous results, I can then calculate the odds for winning in Kona.

Men

Based on his recent results in Kona and Melbourne,

Crowie is the clear favorite. Here are the current

winning odds:

Craig Alexander 34%

Andreas Raelert 12%

Mario Vanhoenacker 12%

ChrisMcCormack 9%

Pete Jacobs 7%

Eneko Llanos 7%

Cameron Brown 6%

Paul Amey 2%

The graph shows how these winning odds have changed over time. Main events that lead to changes:

IM Melbourne

This lead to the “jump” in Crowie’s odds and the inclusion of Cameron Brown.

IM Cairns

The move of the Cairns race from Challenge to Ironman gave Macca a way of validating his

spot. His actual result was okay considering he raced mainly on Olympic distance training, but

was a bit sub-par for him and lead to lowering his statistical odds.

The summer races will probably lead to some shifts in the odds. I’m very interested how the athletes

that have not yet validated their spots are going to do (Andreas, Marino, Pete).

Women

After Chrissie decided she’s not going to race an IM

in 2012, Rinnie took over the frontrunner role:

Mirinda Carfrae 31%

Caroline Steffen 18%

Rachel Joyce 14%

Leanda Cave 12%

Mary Beth Ellis 9%

Catriona Morrison 5%

The main events that produced changes:

Chrissie’s decision not to race

IM Melbourne

Increasing the chances of Caroline while decreasing the chances of Rinnie.

IM Texas

with good performances by Mary Beth Ellis and Rachel Joyce

9:19:04 Kristin Möller (2011)

For each of these races, I will list the athletes on the start list with their current ratings and expected

finishing times, and I will also show who the athletes with the best winning odds are. The rating is a

weighted average of the adjusted finishing times, so if an athlete has only a few but good races he will

have a pretty good rating. But his winning chances may be smaller compared to an experienced athlete

with a slower rating, but with a small number of great races and a few slower ones.

One constant frustration for me is the quality of the start lists:

Often, they are very difficult to find.

When they exist, they are not quite up-to-date. Athletes that are injured and have decided not to

race are not taken off the list.

With the Ironman Pro Membership, athletes can race as many IMs as they like. To be on the

safe side, some athletes register for every IM race, even if they are just a week or two apart.

Some athletes decide to enter a race just a few days before the start.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who sees this as a problem. I think race directors and/or WTC

should put some effort into providing up-to-date start lists and minimize the changes after a certain

cut-off point (say two weeks before a race). Also, there should be a standard way of finding a list of

Pros registered for a certain race.


After the July races, there are a few more races in August that still allow people to score some more
