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.
