The organization has acknowledged that the cycle circuit at 2 was shortened

 This year, both the bicycle route and the overall route were cut in a few kilometers, so the records obtained by the participants in the race have not been recognized. This cut was not announced before the race, leaving some athletes with great disappointment.

Not all Ironman events have the homologated distances nor do they have the same duration, the best 11 professional men spent less than eight hours in Ironman Texas and the time of winner Matt Hanson would have been an Ironman world record if the race had recognized the records .

These would have been the records

  • Best mark in an Ironman of the IM franchise in male category: 7:39:25 for Matt Hanson and second best mark ever, only surpassed by 7:35:39 of Jan Frodeno at Roth 2017.
  • Unique Ironman with 2 sub men 7: 40 in the same edition
  • Unique Ironman with 6 sub men 7: 50 in the same edition
  • Unique Ironman with 11 men sub 8h in the same edition
  • Best mark in the cycling sector for Andrew Starykowicz 3: 54: 59 (at an average of almost 46 km / h)
  • Best mark in the career sector for Matt Hanson 2: 34: 39
  • Best mark in an Ironman of the IM franchise in female category: 8: 31: 05 for Melissa Hauschildt and fourth best ever in an ironman distance triathlon.
  • Unique Ironman with 7 women sub 8: 50 in the same edition
  • Unique Ironman with 10 women sub 9h in the same edition
  • Best mark in the cycling sector for Melissa Hauschildt 4: 29: 55 (to an average of more than 40 / kmh)

In addition, a video of a fall has been published on social networks when a group of triathletes circulated in the squad during the cycling sector
