My SD (750m swim, 5k run, 20k bike) triathlon times were the best by far perhaps because the shorter distances were more suited to my body type back then. The ectomorphs whom I raced with, guys who beat me regularly at OD distances, usually could not do nearly as well in the shortest version. Then again, they could also do the LC (1.9 swim, 21.1k run, 90k bike) and UD (3.8k swim, 42.2k run, 180k bike) triathlons I never could.
Anyway, there are always exceptions to the perceived rule. For example, in Sadarghat and elsewhere in Bangladesh, I see our ectomorphs bearing incredible loads for 8 hours straight in the heat, dust and pollution. That's superhuman strength and ability if you ask me.
