If you scroll down there is also an interesting chart of target IM times based on 70.3 times. Very cool.

Do you also have a link for this kind of info for full IMs? Looking to do my first next year and it might be nice to know what I’m getting into.

Looks like ST’ers should come to Branson! Toughest race in the IM 70.3 series! Also the most inexpensive right now with an entry fee of $175.00! www.ironmanbranson.com

Thats probably why it’s the most inexpensive… everyone looks at this website and no one wants to register!

But that wouldn’t exaplin why IMWI sells out in 5 minutes despite it being the 2nd hardest IM in the world next to St. George

well since averages ALWAYS encompass ALL POSSIBLE variables. yes. easiest.

was this based on just one years data? From what I could tell, I think that is the case (which skews things). For example, Eagleman was slow according to the analysis; however, IIRC the swim in 2011 was non-wetsuit which accounts for the very slow swim times.
