Slowest Ironman winning marathon?

Triathlon Forum

In the media profiles for IMNZ 2003 it had Garret MacFadyen listed as swimming the slowest ever swim to win an Ironman (61mins and change I think - for IMC). I remember as he flew past me on the bike that I’d happily give him my 53mins for a bit of his horse power!

Was just wondering if anyone knows the slowest marathon that has won an Ironman.

What ever it may be I reckon Bjorn will be taking that title in the not too distant future. Scary to think that if he can get much under 3:10, almost everyone will be playing for second!

Yhea I knew someone would get me on that… lets say post 1990.

Actually, it may have been the year J. Howard won. Gordon was a pretty good runner.

Uhm… Harju’s win last year in Wisconsin?

When Jurgen Zäck won IM Austria in, I think, 2001 he rode incredibly fast but ran so-so. I think it was 3.05-3.06 but his approx. 4.15 on the bike gave him enough room to hold on to DeBooms charge.

So I’m in “front” right now with Harju’s 3:12:33 marathon in IM Moo 2003 :slight_smile:

MJ 3:28:xx would be up there for the ladies I would reckon. For the men, not sure, but around the 3:10 mark as others have suggested.

pinkboy…working on cracking 3:30 next year
