If your going to go relay stile why not pick single sport athletes?

Say something like this...

Swim - Sun Yang

Bike - Mark Cavendish

Run - Patrick Makau

Bet that would be a hell of a team.

Take any of the ITU athletes in the top 10, give them two years focused on the IM distance and let them go.

if were going indivdiual sports

cavendish.... no world record for 100 mile TTs are like averaging over 30 mph, get like Michael Hutchinson on the bike they can go sub 4 easily on 112 and Patrick Makau set the marathon record late last year

using a team like that, expecting finishing time would be under 6:30 w/o transitions, just think about that for a second...

Seriously? Cav? Come on... There is no sprint on the bike in an ironman and he wouldn't have the HTC lead out train.
