The Ironman Wisconsin: Correlation Between Bike and Run Splits chart shows just how well the racers paced themselves on the bike and run legs of the race. They basically plotted bike splits against run splits and broke down the racers into four groups: Fast & Balanced, Energy to Burn, Left it on the Bike Course, and Smooth & Steady. You want to be in that first group but I guess most people would settle for the last group too.
The North American Ironman DNF Rates: Finishers and DNF by Race chart shows the DNF (Did Not Finish) rates for the 2010 North American Ironman races. Ironman Wisconsin had a 6% DNF rate, but Louisville and St. George led the way with 16% and 14% respectively. I know Louisville was super hot this year and St. George is supposed to be ridiculously challenging so those DNF rates don't surprise me. I actually have some friends who just signed up for St. George next year. I wonder what they would think of this DNF rate!
