39 races, easiest requirement first
What did a F35-39 athlete need to finish inside the qualifying line at each Ironman race? For every edition with published results since 2025, Pacer Quest ranks all finishers with the official age-grading factors, finds the rank that took the last slot, and converts it back into a finishing time for the F35-39 age group. Slowest requirement first: the races at the top asked the least of an athlete in F35-39.
The estimate is validated by putting it back into the ranking. It reflects that edition's field and slot count; next year's race can differ. Type your own time in the Qualify module to see where you stand across every race.
