Change Log
A log of updates and improvements to the Ironman statistics on this site.
25 April 2025
No new features. But I think this background work is worth noting.
- Fixed a silly bug preventing switching to only Kona qualifiers on race pages. E.g. Ironman Texas 2024 Results
- Optimised my results filtering code so it should move a bit quicker.
- Reduced inclusion of unneccessary JavaScript across pages to improve loading.
- Further reduced size of data transferred to stats pages to improve loading.
- Stumbled across and fixed a couple of other bugs in the meantime.
23 April 2025
- Created the Stats Lab section for one-off pieces of data analysis. Bringing together existing analyses from the last 6 months in one place.
- Created Learn More pages for each Lab entry to explain the analysis and how to control/adjust the charts. E.g. Changes to Ironman Finishing Times As Athletes Age Up
- Found and fixed one or two bugs while I was doing this
19 April 2025
- Added aggregate (all events in last 10 years) distribution charts to each race. E.g. Ironman Portugal-Cascais Distributions.
- Added split information box to qualification times tables. Hover the mouse or touch times in the tables to see the breakdown of splits. E.g. Ironman Taiwan Qualification Stats
- Added race dates to the Upcoming and Recent race pages. E.g. Upcoming Ironman Races
- A few improvements to the back end too support these updates.
13 April 2025
- Added options to adjust slot numbers on race qualification pages to see how that affects qualifying times. E.g. Ironman Florida 2024 Qualification Stats
- Added to adjust slot numbers to average qualification times for races too. E.g. Ironman Texas Qualification Stats
- Added options to filter by athlete splits to results pages E.g. Ironman Cozumel 2024 Results
- A lot of updates to the code base to allow this to happen and allow for future functionality
- Some minor bug fixes along the way as I spotted them.
