Best list of British triathletes on the Ironman distance
The Ironman Distance Leaderboard for British Triathletes includes all times worldwide by men from the UK in a long or Ironman triathlon (3.86 km swim, 180.2 km bike and 42.2 km run ) were achieved. (As of April 15, 2020)
Criteria for the best times
Each athlete is listed here with their personal best. Times of amateurs and professionals under 8:25 hours since October 1982 were taken into account. Competitions in which only one duathlon was held due to weather conditions or partial distances were greatly shortened are not taken into account.
An official measurement of the routes, as in athletics with the Jones counter , has not yet been done in triathlon. The races can only be compared to a limited extent or to a limited extent due to the fact that the length is not exactly precise. The times for one and the same competition, as in Hawaii, are not comparable due to route changes, construction sites, the condition or change of the road surface, relocations and changes in the transition zones as well as currents, wind conditions and temperature differences. The times listed here are results that have been achieved in competitions with an official slipstream ban.
