Three Continents, Three Triathlons: Comparing Ironman 70.3 Events in Busselton, Mallorca and St. George

We compared results analyses of three recent triathlons, on three continents: Ironman 70.3 Busselton, Ironman 70.3 Mallorca, and Ironman 70.3 St. George to see which was fastest, overall or by split, which had the most finishers, DNS and/or DNFs, and how average finish times compared by division. Here are the results.
