Ironman Arizona: 3 Lap Bike Times and Speeds by Age Group
The Ironman Arizona 112-mile bike course is made up of three laps of approximately 37.5, 37.5 and 37 miles. The course is billed as flat and fast, and it is, generally. Expect wind; a headwind outbound is preferable, because of the tailwind home. How fast should you expect to ride each lap? We've done the analysis and defined the benchmarks, below. For more, see our analysis of bike and run split correlation, and our Complete Ironman Arizona Coverage.
Ironman Arizona Registered Athletes by Age
Nearly 2900 triathletes registered to compete in Ironman Arizona 2009, and the race is sold out for 2010 as well. Registered competitors range in age from 18 to mid-70s, as shown in the chart below. Also see the complete list at ironmanarizona.com and our Complete Ironman Arizona Coverage.
Ironman Arizona Correlation Between Bike and Run Splits
At Ironman Arizona 2009, if you rode a 6:09 bike split and ran a 4:58 marathon, you struck the perfect balance. Another way to look at the equation, at least on the Ironman Arizona course: average marathon time = 81% of your bike split. Those in the upper left quadrant generally left it on the bike course, burned out on the run. Conversely, those in the lower right ran better than expected after a slow bike split. The others: smooth, steady, solid balance, and comfortable finishes.

Half Ironman 70.3 Clearwater World Championship: Bike vs. Run Correlation
In the 2010 Ironman 70.3 World Championship, if you rode a 2:28 bike split and ran a 1:44 half marathon, you struck the perfect balance. Another way to look at the equation, at least on the Ironman Clearwater course: average half marathon time = 0.70 times your bike split. This rate is nearly identical to that at Kona. Also see our analysis of Results and Average Finish Times.
Those in the upper left quadrant generally left it on the bike course, burned out on the run. Conversely, those in the lower right ran better than expected after a slow bike split. The others: smooth, steady, solid balance, and comfortable finishes.

Ironman Kona 2009 and 2010: Correlation Between Bike and Run Splits
By Raymond Britt -- It's the most consistent challenge in all long-distance triathlons: how hard to ride the bike, while still leaving enough in the tank to have a great run. When it comes to balancing the bike and the run, there are four groups: 1. Fast and Balanced; 2. Energy to Spare for a fast run; 3. Left it on the Bike Course; 4. Smooth and Steady for a slow bike and slow run. You want to be #1 or #4. See charts for 2009 and 2010 below; for more analysis, visit our Complete Kona Coverage.
With the best-of-the-best triathletes racing Kona, a clear majority are in quadrant #1 and #4. Outliers in #2 and #3 were either racing too cautiously or rode too hard and suffered on the run, respectively. Kona's bike/run split correlation is more uniformly positive, compared to other Ironman Triathlon bike/run splits charts (Canada, Louisville, Wisconsin, e.g.).

Ironman Florida: What will Run Time Be Based on Bike Time?
At Ironman Florida, on average, if you ride a 6:06 bike split, your marathon could be around 4:57, based on 2010 Results. Said another way: the average marathon split was 81% of the bike split. But, of course, the percent differed by age group; see below. See our related Bike/Run Split Correlation Analysis, Race Results and Average Finish Times, and our complete Ironman Florida Coverage.
Ironman Florida: Correlation Between Bike Split and Run Split
Always on the mind of the Ironman Triathlete: how hard should I ride if I want to save enough energy to run a good marathon? In the 2010 Ironman Florida, if you rode a 6:06 bike split and ran a 4:57 marathon, you struck the perfect balance. Also see our analysis of Average Finish Times and our complete Ironman Florida coverage.
Another way to look at the equation, at least on the Ironman Florida course: marathon time = 0.81 times your bike split. That's what the data for 2301 athletes suggests, though the degree of confidence is a bit mixed. Those in the upper left quadrant generally left it on the bike course, burned out on the run. Conversely, those in the lower right ran better than expected after a slow bike split. The others: smooth, steady, solid balance, and comfortable finishes.
