From experience, we had a chap join the cycling club who could do a 2:28 full marathon. He was expected to be very quick but struggled to get below 57 mins (leg strength as above).
I've tried running, did a half mile, walked back, legs f***ed for a week.
He has my respect for being able to do what he does, and I have his for doing what I do (and for the 400 mile in 5 days loaded tour round Wales a couple of weeks back)

1:38:00 is harder than riding a TT in 00:23:51.
Both of those times are what an average club competitor would term as on the slow side of acceptable.

It might make an interesting feature for the mag. A cyclist and a runner of comparable ability/ fitness in their respective discipline.
2 running events, say track and road
2 cycling events, say road and offroadLowest total time for all 4 events wins???

it's pretty easy to sort out.
Find a ten mile loop, I'll ride a bike and we'll get a runner to do it at the same time, then we'll see who wins.

I'm a 1:28 half marathon runner, Trail_Rat is a 22:10 10 mile TT rider. I know which one of us is fittest.
Based on that your TT time is better than their half marathon time.

The half marathon time is very weak IMO.
I ran 71 minutes for a half marathon then soon after developed an injury that lasted for quite some time. I cycled some 10 mile TT's and could only manage around 26 minutes.Posted 2 years ago # -
Biathletes are universally regarded as the top athletics with regards to VO2 MAX, hand/eye, muscular endurance, reaction speed etc.
Include someone that can ski and shoot in your race, see what happens!
