    Just looking at a few of the guys who have qualified for Kona in the past or would qualify if not pro or doing a non im event

    LCD, Oweney M, Big Mac, M&M , Joe L as a small sample

    All of these boys have done sub 9.30 IM's and would or have qualified before

    My question is all these boys have also done sub 1 hr..or.1.01 sprints....and 2hr....202 Olympics. So is there a correlation between sprint and olympic times and ironman distance times as there appears to be in getting the kona qualification standard

    I've other friends who have qualified for Kona mulitple times. At sprint, oly or half I'd probably have taken them, at IM - no.

    IMHO there are no hard and fast correlations.
