    Really?

    Given he's an AGer, 9.02 for IMAT and 9.13 for Kona is not too shabby...

    I think he means that 9.02 was his first effort at the distance... Knowing how hard Matt trains, I think he will be threating the record in Roth!

    Yup, great times but I don't think they are near his potential. I presume he is racing IM again this year? From what I recall last year his bike was not very well paced, much quicker first lap.

    So, we can't recognize any PBs from IMAT as being legitimate?:)

    Roth is also short, BTW...

    I thought it and IMde were the only really accurate ones?

    We can do what we like on IMAT :)

    It is marginal for Roth - 178km and 41km from the Garmin (if that can be described as accurate) if I recall.

    However, given it is a "record" course, like IMAT, there must be internal pressure to bring the distances down to the lower end max variance allowed?

    So long bike and short run in Roth, good to know.

    that would not go with the stringent ITU uniform regulations and a DQ ;-)
