I've done my best to remove results from races with courses that have been acknowledged as “well short”. For example, the bike course of IM Frankfurt 2017 was short by somewhere between 3 and 5k because of construction. But with lack of “official measurements” and accepted tolerances there is a “gray area” where you can find reasons both for including or removing results from certain races. Most notably, IM Texas 2018 has been a fast race that created a lot of controversies whether the times should be accepted as “fastest times” or not. I have decided to include the Texas times in the tables below but “with an asterisk” and also show the fastest time in addition to the Texas time(s). The Texas times are especially apparent in the female bike times: There are nine times from Texas that are faster than the Top 5 from any other races. While I think that most of the Texas results have to be considered invalid, Starky’s 3:54 bike split (the first sub-4 in an Ironman) was probably the “most legit” result of the day – even if the course was slightly short there is very little chance to draft while riding at the front of the field and no motos on the course.

Während er die Zeiten von Texas 2018 mit Sternchen aufführt würde ich glauben die 2021er Zeiten von Roth werden erst gar nicht aufgenommen

EDIT: natürlich kann man egal ob als Pro oder Agegrouper einen tollen Tag haben egal wie lang die Strecke nun ganz genau war
