@mytriathloncoach: How fast could the perfect Ironman athlete actually go? We combined Jan Sibbersen's 3.8km swim, Tadej Pogačar's speed over almost 180km and Sabastian Sawe's marathon, then added Sam Laidlow's transition time. The result: 6:24:03. That's 57:01 faster than Laidlow's current long distance benchmark. Obviously, it's a thought experiment. All three performances happened fresh, in completely different conditions. But it shows just how ridiculous the limits of swim, bike and run are when you put them together. Could we ever see a real athlete get anywhere near 6 hours?👇 🧠 FREE personalised coaching match in bio 📘 FREE Triathlon Starter Pack in bio #ironman #ironman703 #pogacar #triathlon #marathon

Using remcos TT speed on the longest course he’s done is a better estimate

unofficial record of Krystian Blummenfet is 6:44 so only 20 minutes slower 😳

Depending on course, ganna or evenepoel would be better. Of its flatter. And it’s on a tt.

now why wouldn’t you use an actual open water swimmer for the swimming leg

Pogi would take more than 15 minutes out of Laidlow’s time. That average speed was after 11 stages of the TdF and Laidlow was after a swim which Pogi wouldn’t do (all hypothetical I know)

filippo ganna would probably be faster than pogacar on the bike leg of an iron man

The UK 100mile TT record is 3hrs 10mins. Now Adam Duglby is huge talent but he did that at 40 years old and isn't a peak Pro rider. Remco could probs do that in under 3hrs on the right course. so I would say the cycling leg could be 3hrs 30 or better.

IE NG :
Averaging 49 on a road what if he on a triathlon bike faster and more aero than a road bike and a tt bike example a canyon speedmax cfr that would save him like 8-14 minutes on a triathlon bike

Swimming: ~8.6–9 km/h (average sprint record speed). Running: ~44.7 km/h (peak speed). Cycling (with assistance): 296 km/h (absolute record). If you completed a full Ironman at these speeds, the finishing time would be approximately 2 hours.
