I’d been thinking 16 hours to be honest.

So had a look – seems like typically 30-50 athletes finished after 15 hours when the cut off was longer at Germany. Not huge, but I suspect skews the older age groups a bit more. Might contribute a bit to the differences I see.

Certainly is a reason why Germany is overall weighted to faster times than a lot of other Ironman races. Never going to have athletes in the 15-17 hour period and I’d guess many who suspect they need 15+ hours avoid it because of that.

Thanks, hope you had a good race at the weekend,

Russ
