Inside Tri has an interesting analysis of the winning male and female times for the Hawaii Ironman World Championship, indicating an average of 54:31 difference between the male and female champions in finishing times.
I, for one, would like to see the cutoff at the end of the day set 54:31 later for women at Ironman-distance triathlons, too, in order to be roughly comparable effort-wise for back-of-the-packers of each gender. But yes, I'm aware that very, very few purists or fast triathletes would agree with me on that point!
