But if you try tell the guy/gal who finishes in over 17+ hours that they are not an Ironman, prepare to have your azz kicked by everyone around .....
The first two cut-offs are not optional, though. If you miss those, they're not going to let you out on the course for the next leg. Once you make it out on the run, though, there's no way for them to stop you. And if you come across the line over 17 hours, you may not get the medal or be listed in the official results, but there's likely to still be people there cheering for you.
