Challenge Copenhagen 2012

Aaron Farlow of Australia and Camilla Pedersen of Denmark both used race-fastest swim and bike splits to win the men’s and women’s titles at the third annual KMD Challenge Copenhagen.

The Men

Farlow, who had Iron-distance wins at Ironman UK in 2011 and Challenge Wanaka in 2012, blazed to the front with a 47:01 swim, increased his lead with a race-fastest 4:26:43 bike split and defended his lead with a 6th-best 3:03:00 marathon to finish in 8:20:09 with a 4:48 margin of victory over runner-up Mads Vittrup-Pedersen of Denmark and 5:06 over 3rd-place finisher Jimmy Johnsen of Denmark.

Vittrup-Pedersen had fallen 22:26 behind Farlow with a 51:17 swim, a 4:41:06 bike split and a glacial 5:17 bike-to-run transition, then recouped 17:58 with a race-best 2:45:00 marathon to take 2nd place. Fellow Dane Jimmy Johnsen had a more balanced race as his 48:08 swim, 4:39:59 bike split and 3rd-fastest 2:54:18 run brought him home 3rd, just 18 seconds behind Vittrup-Pedersen. Keegan Williams of New Zealand took 4th in 8:36:05

Two time defending champion and course record holder (8:07:39 in 2010) Tim Berkel of Australia was in close contention as his 3rd-best 48:58 swim and 2nd-best 4:34:12 bike split left him in 2nd place and 9:12 back at T2 – well within range of a three-peat if he had managed his usual run. But Berkel was afflicted with some ailment and could only manage an uncharacteristically slow 3:41 marathon to finish 21st in 9:07:43.
The Women

Pedersen, coming into this race after a 2nd place finish at the ITU Long Distance World championship in Spain and a 4th place at the Challenge Kraichgau half, broke out fast with a race-best 48:51 swim that gave her a 2:16 advantage on Katja Konschak of Germany and 2:21 over Lisbeth Kristensen of Denmark. After a race-best 2:12 first transition and a race-fastest 4:59:05 bike split, Pedersen held a 5:07 lead on Kristensen and 19:27 on Konschak.

Pedersen’s 3:21:12 marathon surrendered 3:09 to Kristensen’s 3:18:03 and 13:23 to Konschak’s race-best 3:07:49 but it was good enough to defend her lead. Kristensen finished 2nd in 9:15:24 and Konschak took 3rd in 9:19:54. Wenke Kujala of Germany took 4th in 9:25:14.
