The results of Ironman Texas 2014 clearly show that, once again, the event maintained its position as
one of the tougher full Ironman races in the world. How tough? A 13:16 average finish time (similar to
13:18 in 2012 but much slower than the
average for all global Ironman events we've analyzed -- 12:35) and a 9.9% DNF rate, about double the
average North American Ironman DNF result. Yet it could have been worse:
Ironman Texas 2013 resulted in an average finish time of
13:40 and DNF of
17%.
But don't let the numbers overshadow a most important point: Ironman Texas is a great event, very popular on the Ironman circuit, and it comes highly recommended by well over 2,000 participants each year.
Our complete results analysis -- overall, by division, by split, vs previous years and more -- show specifically how challenging the event was this year.
