STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

Lucy Charles-Barclay powered to a wire-to-wire solo victory in the women’s race at IRONMAN Lanzarote – but it couldn’t have been much more contrasting in the men’s event as France’s Dylan Magnien snatched a thrilling success.

Lanzarote has proved a training mecca for many of the world’s top triathletes including Britain’s Charles-Barclay – and it was also the venue of her first pro race back in 2016 when she had a clear lead in the swim before dropping back to third.

A year later, she returned to the same race and recorded her maiden full-distance victory in a time of 9:35:39.

So Saturday felt like a full circle moment and here’s how it all panned out.

Women’s race – LCB out on her own

Conditions were picture perfect and Charles-Barclay asserted from the gun, with her 48:24 swim giving her a near seven-minute advantage from Justine Guerard (FRA) and Maja Stage Nielsen (DEN).

And in truth the 2023 IRONMAN World Champion was never threatened.

Her lead was up to eight minutes early on the bike, then 10, 12 and 14 minutes at the halfway stage.

By the time she reached T2, Charles-Barclay was 15:49 to the good over Jeanne Collonge (FRA) and midway through the marathon the gap was up to 17:44.

The inevitable win was ticked off when she crossed the line in 9:17:15, nearly 20 minutes quicker than her winning time from back in 2017.

Collonge was a distant second, 20 minutes back, just 40 seconds ahead of Merle Brunnée (GER) in third.

Men’s race – Down to the wire

The men’s race couldn’t have been much more different as the lead changed hands countless times on a closely-fought bike leg before a thrilling marathon.

Clement Mignon (FRA), Mathias Lyngsø Petersen (DEN), Mikel Ugarte Ramos (ESP) and Magnien all nudged in front at various times on two wheels as just a handful of seconds separated the top four.

Norwegian duo Jon Saeveras Breivold and Kristian Grue then got right in the mix on the run as did Jordi Montraveta Moya (ESP) and it meant that at the 20km mark less than a minute covered the top five.

Petersen and Moya were shoulder to shoulder with 10km to go, though Magnien was lurking menacingly behind, just 14 seconds adrift.

And he would prove strongest when it mattered, taking over soon after and having enough in reserve to take the win by 38 seconds from Moya, with Petersen rounding out the podium in third.

It was Magnien’s second pro victory, with the first coming on this very weekend two years ago at IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence.
