Jan Frodeno is your 2019 Mainova IRONMAN European Champion. In 35°C / 95° F.7:56:02.Jan Frodeno is your 2019 Mainova IRONMAN European Champion! 🏆 Posted by IRONMAN Germany on Sunday, June 30, 2019. It’s just over six weeks until the 2019 Ironman World Championship in Kona. Over the coming weeks, and in the lead up to race day we will be taking a closer look at the athletes vying for the World Championship title, but for now, here’s the start list. — 220Triathlon (@220Triathlon) October 12, 2019. When the mercury rising, the Kona marathon run saw Haug whittle down Charles-Barclay’s lead of 7mins to 5mins by a third of the way through. Charles-Barclay had run two sub-3hr Ironman marathons in 2019 and she’d need to again in Kona to hold off Haug’s challenge. In the event an XC Age Division consists of more than nine (9) race day starters, an additional Kona slot will be added, totaling two (2) slots for that Division. The second slot will be awarded to the XC athlete that has the second best percentile finish (vs. Starters in their traditional age group).
Two-time U.S. Olympian Sarah True collapsed while leading in the last 100-degree mile of the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday.
True, who said she had a seven-minute lead, was carried off the course by four people after nine hours of racing.
She later said she could not remember the last two miles of the 140.6-mile competition (2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile bike and a marathon) and that the temperature was 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit).
“Sad, frustrated, a million different things,” True told Triathlonworld.com. “You never expect to be in the position where you have a seven-minute gap, and your brain doesn’t function well enough to tell you you’re struggling in the heat. Just stop and walk a little because I still would have won. When your brain goes in the heat, there’s not a lot you can do.”
True, 37, finished fourth at the 2012 Olympics, then switched to Ironman after being lapped at the Rio Games. She was fourth in her Kona Ironman World Championships debut last Oct. 13.
