Finish time distribution
Average time at each IRONMAN 70.3 race
From fastest to slowest average. Course, weather and field all change times a lot; to compare difficulty using the same athletes, see which race is hardest.
How we calculate it
Only age-group finishers are counted (no PROs, no DNFs). World Championships, where only qualified athletes race, and editions with a shortened or cancelled leg are excluded. Average = arithmetic mean; median = the middle finisher. T1 and T2 are included in the finish time.
