I'd say the better question is if you are putting out a 13:14 in IMWI and a 14:09 in IMAZ, what is your training plan to get to a 4:30 in Lou or Chat. That's the equivalent of chopping of 3-4hrs in an IM.Oh nice. I'm a physician and we had a baby that's now a toddler. IM AZ was straight out of fellowship and done on 3 months of training, then IM WI this past September was actually just done as a bonus race a couple weeks after the Leadville 100 MTB in CO (my goal race of the season), and my training was geared toward that. Now my work and family schedule is sorted, so I'm training consistently, using a Trainer Road mid volume program I modify. I have a swim and run background so for Olympic my swim split will be ~23min swim, my bike FTP will be 3.8 W/kg (maybe 63 min bike leg), and my Oly 10km will be ~40min (was 43min last year on minimal run training; I have a 36min open 10km PR), so with transitions I'm shooting for ~2:10 Olympic time and a 4:30 - 4:40 half iron time (30min Swim+T1, ~2:30 bike, ~1:30 - 1:35 run).
