How fast is FAST? (1)

Hi,
For an AG, what kind of times do you consider to be fast. Olympic, Half IM, IM? When do you stop and say “This guy is fast”. Just curious about other peoples opinions, I understand that times vary with courses, etc.

130kph - the speed that downhill ski racers go…that’s fast. Nothing on a bike even comes close.

p.s. opening DH on the season went today at Lake Louise…GO CANADA!!! (2nd place)

Anyone who beats me is fast. Anyone I beat is not fast.

i consider a sub 2:20 oly, a sub 5 half, and a sub 11 Im fast as im not there yet on any of them so the people in front of me seem fast.

Its relative, and especially in your AG. It also depends on the course. IMOO is slower, IMAZ is faster.

You swim times seem “too fast”, and your run times are definitely “too slow”.
A fast AG should be able to run faster.
