Ironman (full distance) is 2.4mi (3.86km) swim, 112mi (180.25km) bike, 26.2mi (42.19km) run. Most Ironman's have a cutoff at 17hrs total time. MANY do not make the cutoff.

Starting gun is 7am, swim cut is at 2 hrs 20m , Bike cut is at 5:30pm, and race cutoff at Midnight.

Course record for Kona is a staggering 8:04. I'd still be swimming
