JAVIER GOMEZ AND DANIELA RYF CAPTURE THE 2014 SUBARU IRONMAN^® 70.3^® WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN MONT-TREMBLANT, QUEBEC

MONT-TREMBLANT, Quebec (September 7, 2014) – Shining through the beautiful surroundings of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec were Javier Gomez (ESP) and Daniela Ryf (SUI), as they captured the crown at the 2014 Subaru IRONMAN^®70.3^® World Championship triathlon. Gomez posted a winning time of 03:41:30 outdoing a men’s field that saw the top 10 all finish within 10 minutes of each other. Ryf continued her dominant season with a winning time of 4:09:19. The race celebrated the first time the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship has been held outside of the United States.

Men’s Race

Just a week after his fourth ITU World Championship in Edmonton, it didn’t take long for Javier Gomez (ESP) and fellow race favorite Jan Frodeno (DEU) to get into a rhythm as they quickly moved to the front of the swim. The two kept the pace moving fast as they wanted to keep last year’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Sebastien Kienle (DEU) at bay. The defending champ found himself just over three minutes down after the swim and, instead of gaining time through the early portion of the bike as he has in years past, Kienle found himself losing time to the huge group at the front of the men’s race that included Gomez, Frodeno, Ben Collins (USA), Joe Gambles (USA), Nils Frommhold (DEU), Terenzo Bozzone (NZL), Josh Amberger (AUS), Tim Don (GBR) and Matt Chrabot (USA).

Collins was first off the bike, but it was Frodeno who surged out onto the run course with the early lead. Trailing by 30 seconds starting the run, Gomez quickly moved into second and within five km was only three seconds behind Frodeno. Feeling that he could run faster, Gomez surged past the German and opened up a 25-second lead. Frodeno looked like he might be gaining ground on the Spaniard with six km to go, but Gomez hung tough to get to the line 42 seconds ahead of Frodeno earning his first IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title. Don put together a solid race and rounded out the podium, while Lionel Sanders, who was the last pro man out of the water, put together the fastest pro bike split and third fastest run (1:11:22, behind Gomez’s 1:09:27 and Frodeno’s 1:10:37) to move to fourth, with Germany’s Nils Frommhold finishing fifth.

Women’s Race

In the midst of an incredible season, Daniela Ryf (SUI) once again proved she is a force in the sport of triathlon. Ryf exited the water just six seconds behind 2010 IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Jodie Swallow (GBR), before the pair were joined at the front of the bike by Annabel Luxford (AUS) and Mary Beth Ellis (USA). Ryf and Swallow drove the pace through the first half before Ryf made her move and, by the 66 km, she had separated herself from Swallow, Ellis, Luxford and the rest of the field.

Once on the run, Swallow, who came off the bike in second, made things exciting as she managed to gain back a bit of time. But, in the end, Ryf was simply too strong as she finished in 4:09:19, 2:24 ahead of Swallow. The win added to her impressive 2014 campaign including, a win at the 5150 European Championship, a win in her first IRONMAN race at IRONMAN Zurich, a win at the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship in Wiesbaden and a win at KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen.

Canada’s own Heather Wurtele ran her way to the podium after passing Meredith Kessler who finished fourth (USA) and Ellis who rounded out the top five.

2013 アイアンマンチャンピオン フレデリック・ヴァン・リルデ

ROTOR POWER + QXL BIKEご紹介!!

今日は、2013ハワイ、アイアンマンチャンピオン フレデリック・ヴァン・リルデ（ベルギー）の2014ニューカラーバイクをご紹介。スペシャルカラーのcervelo に スペシャルカラーのQXL + ROTOR POWERを組み合わせて、今シーズンを戦っています。

楕円率の大きいスペシャルカラー Q-XLリングを愛用!!

リルデ選手は、グリーンのスペシャルカラーのP5にSHIMANOデュラエースDI2 コンポ―ネントにROTOR POWERクランク+スペシャルカラーのQ-XLリング。モニターは、ガーミン製コンピューターの組み合わせ。

このバイクでハワイ アイアンマン 2連覇を狙っています。

トライアスロンでは、楕円率15％のQ-XLは不向きと思われていましたが、踏み込みの位置が解りやすく意識をしやすいので使用しているとの事。もちろん真円を使用するときよりも乳酸発生を抑える事ができ、かつ出力を上げる事が出来るので踏むのが得意な方には、お勧めです！！

 

ん～これもほしい！

今年のアイアンマン開催まで2ヶ月となった。

36年目となったアイアンマンは、トライアスロンの歴史そのものだ。1978年にたった15人で始まったアイアンマンは、現在世界的に人気のイベントとなり、レースエントリー開始後即日でSOLDOUTとなっている。そんなアイアンマンの中で頂点を決めるのが、ハワイで開催されるアイアンマン世界選手権だ。プロ選手とともにエイジ選手も出場できる全トライアスリート憧れの大会。そしてその大会を目指しているプロ選手、エイジ選手ともに佳境に入った。プロ選手は、コナポイントランキングッステムで明確に出場枠が決まる。

すでに2015年モデルの発表が国内で随時開催されている。2015年はモデルチェンジが少ない。ただ、セカンドグレード、サードグレードでのモデルチェンジやニューリリースもあり、より今のトライアスロンが成熟してきた感がある。現在のフラッグシップモデルは各メーカーの集大成とも言える完成度の高さがあるが、これがエイジ選手すべてに当てはまるわけではない。エイジ選手に向けてよりリアルなモデルが注目となってくるだろう。また、パーツメーカーの中には、「トライアスロン」のイメージを強くしたモデルなどのリリースを予定している。全世界的にトライアスロンの盛り上がりを感じるところだ。

Muskoka, Ontario named as host of new IRONMAN TRIATHLON
TO BE HELD ON August 30, 2015

General Registration to open August 7, 2014: www.ironman.com/muskoka

TAMPA, Fla. (July 24, 2014) – IRONMAN announced today that Muskoka, Ontario, Canada has been selected to host the fourteenth race in the IRONMAN^® North American Series. The inaugural IRONMAN Muskoka triathlon will take place on Sunday, August 30, 2015. In addition, IRONMAN announced that the existing IRONMAN 70.3 Muskoka triathlon will now shift dates to Sunday, July 5, 2015, making it the ideal training race for IRONMAN Muskoka.

“IRONMAN 70.3 Muskoka has been a premiere race for the IRONMAN brand in the region and we are thrilled to expand our offerings in Canada with the addition of IRONMAN Muskoka,” said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of IRONMAN. “Muskoka is rich in triathlon history, including hosting the ITU Triathlon World Championship in 1992. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with the Town of Huntsville, TriMuskoka and the Deerhurst Resort to deliver an amazing race for our athletes.”

One of more than 35 events in the global IRONMAN Series, IRONMAN Muskoka will lead athletes through a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run that takes place in the beautiful Deerhurst Resort and the surrounding scenic areas of Muskoka. The race will provide athletes with a challenging and scenic course along lakes, rivers, towering forests, granite outcroppings, hills and valleys that utilizes much of the historical IRONMAN 70.3 Muskoka course. The race will start with a single loop 2.4-mile swim in the picturesque Peninsula Lake. The two-loop bike course circles Lake of Bays, passing through the small communities of Dwight, Dorset, and Baysville. The two-loop run will take competitors through the Muskoka region and historic downtown Huntsville as they enter the Spectator Zone, finishing their day back at the Deerhurst Resort.

“The Town of Huntsville is thrilled to be hosting Ontario’s first IRONMAN triathlon in 2015 as well as 2016 and 2017,” said Mayor Claude Doughty. “This event is an excellent fit for our community as triathlons provide an ideal way to showcase our beautiful landscape while promoting a healthy, active lifestyle to our residents and visitors. The positive energy and attention that this event will bring to our region will be outstanding and we are truly honored to be hosting a sporting event that is as world renowned as an IRONMAN.”

“TriMuskoka is absolutely ecstatic about IRONMAN Muskoka coming to our community as triathlon has been an integral part of the Huntsville and Lake of Bays community for over 25 years,” said Rich Trenholm, President of TriMuskoka. “Having an IRONMAN event truly reinforces the fact that Muskoka is not only Ontario’s vacation playground, but a mecca for endurance sports and most notably our triathlon events of every distance. Athletes coming to our community will find themselves amidst the natural beauty of the landscape that is carved out of the granite and forests that make up the Canadian Shield.”

IRONMAN Muskoka will offer 50 age group slots to the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship taking place on Oct. 8, 2016 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i.

今年のアイアンマン開催まで3ヶ月となった。

プロ、エイジともに年々レベルが上がり、出場は極めて「狭き門」となっている。プロは、シード選手以外、アイアンマン連戦の中での出場、エイジ選手も、9時間台が当たり前となってきている。厳しい出場枠を賭けて、プロもエイジも「全力」で臨むアイアンマン。そんなレベルのハワイは、予選アイアンマンとは空気が違う。その「空気」を、今年もしっかりと伝えたい。

サーベロのシェア1位は変わらないだろう。トレック＆スぺシャライズドがどこまで迫るのか。はたまた新たなブランドが来るのか。今年も機材バトルが注目となる。NewP3の登場により、高額なP5は減ってしまうのかもしれない。NewP2も登場し、サーベロのシェアも新旧のモデルが入れ替わるのか、2015年に向け「サーベロの勢い」が見れることになる。今年はややニューモデルが少ない中で注目の一つが、スライスのフルモデルチェンジだ。途中スライスRSが追加になったが、2008年に登場したスライスは7年というロングセラーだったが、ついにモデルチェンジした。そして、各社からの「ニューモデル」のお披露目とその性能は発揮されるのか。などなど、今から「興奮状態」になる最高のステージがアイアンマンだ。
