Performance and Sex Differences in ‘Isklar Norseman Xtreme Triathlon’ The performance and gender difference was examined for long-distance triathlets especially on the ‘Ironman Hawaii’.Since 2003, the ‘Isklar Norseman Xtreme Triathlon’ has also passed through the Ironman distance. In contrast to the tropical climate on Hawaii, the athletes have to go around there with the cold: swimming with water temperatures of ~ 13-15 ° C, cycling at air temperatures of ~ 5-20 ° C and run at air temperatures of ~ 12-28 ° C inThe level and ~ 2-12 ° C in the target in GaustToodoppen. We now examined the performance of performance and the difference between the sexes between 2003 and 2015. It showed that the number of finishers increase and the relationship man / woman decreased.If you take all the men and all women as a unit, then the men were faster on the bike, but not swimming and not when running.

Surprisingly, there is no difference between the sexes in the final time.Over the years, women improved swimming as well as men and women while cycling and in the total time.On the other hand, there was no improvement on the marathon route.
