Hi all, not posted in donkeys, and I've looked through past posts but cannot find the answer...
... what is a respectable time for a half ironman? bearing in mind Im average, my 10k run time is just under 50 mins, but my endurance seems to be better than my speed. I know its hard to say what a good time is for a specific person but just looking for a general overview of how people have done in the past or times they've heard?
Thanks heaps all!

Times will fluctuate depending on the event.
Personally I started with a goal of sub-6 and next year it'll be sub-5:30; if things had gone better I would have made it this year.
e.g. to finish? to podium?
Q: what are your limiters?
e.g. weak swimmer? constant groin injury after 8 miles running?
Q: what is your base endurance like for each discipline?
cheers

Its not actually a half ironman event as such - its an event im trying to set up with a friend, an indoor tri using the pool, indoor cycle and treadmill. i was looking for a time to put on the cycle as its likely we'd have to use spin bikes (no distance guage). but we want to aim for an approximation of the half ironman distance.
obviously personal limiters are a huge factor - i for one am not a podium finisher! im just a plodder really but i usually finish (other events and distances) in what I would call an ok but not fantastic time.
will look at those other threads, cheers guys xx
