Nah, Roth is fairly accurate (maybe a tad shy). I rode 5.29 there which is actually my slowest Iron distance bike leg. Although it was wet and windy. Even the 186km in Hamburg took me less time!
The run is 1km short.
Various pros have said this over the years in interviews Iāve heard.
Bike was 178.5km, which is fine, but itās 170-174km this year.
Which is massively short.

Yeah well, evidently the Germans seem to have a problem getting their courses the right distance.

I dont care, it still counts, it does, it does, it does, and if anyone says different, all my toys are coming out of my pram
Can I also have a short swim and run?

111 miles and 26.0 miles when I did it so run a touch short. But the run course has changed since then

Iāve done a 9:28 which had packs on the bike that were impossible to avoid.
Still says 9:28 next to my name on the results

I didnāt realise theyāve changed the bike course; or is this like they did in Frankfurt, whey they had to avoid road works, and didnāt bother adjusting the course to make it 180km? (iirc Frankfurt was 185km for a couple of years?)
Average bike speed should be crazy fast ?!
Iām going with 9:25

9:25 sounds good, like those split times @Poet 
5:30 kick off for us.
I think in previous years Challenge do a spilt tracker and a live feed of their finish stadium
