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.).
