Talkback: How long will it take to complete your first Ironman?

Are input and output times in seconds? Minutes? Hours? You've given me a lovely equation but not the necessary units to actually make it work!

do need a mara time for it, though... i still don't have a standalone time for 26.2 (my one and only time is from IM!) 

does it only work for the IM Switzerland course? I can imagine the times could be different for Wales, for example...

Hi Andrew, all times needed are in mins – it does say that just above the equation but is easy to miss, so I've made it bold it stand out more.

Let us know if it works for you!

I've completed 5 Ironman,all between 11:38 and 12:32; Ive completed 4 1/2 IM and 2 dozen Olympics. Based upon my results the best predictor for IM time is your Olympic finish time X 4.67; or 1/2 IM finish time X 2.25. they are correct to within 5 minutes for me.
