I think most people could do a 70.3 if they trained consistently for a year. Not sure what the normal 70.3 cutoff, can you speedwalk and make it?
Cutoff is 8:30 I think. Lots of Ifs I could apply to your question, but ...
I'll do the math as I go ...
1:10 is the swim cutoff time. Let's say Roommate can get through T1 in 5min.
He then needs to ride a 4:10 or faster to make 5:30 cutoff with a 5min T2. Not sure what that is in mph.
From 5:30 to 8:30 ... 13.1/180 minutes is ... 13:44 per mile? YRMMV as to whether he can maintain that pace and finish under the cutoff time. Hope it's not a hot day.
