Age-group thresholds

IRONMAN China · 2 editions (2009, 2010) · 478 finishers

Editions: 2009 · 2010

How to read it: in each row, the time under "Top 10%" is the time of the slowest athlete who still made the fastest 10% of the age group. Beat that time and you are in. Age groups with fewer than 5 finishers are omitted. Finishers only.
