Challenge Roth is a "fast" course because the distance is a bit shorter than the standard iron-distance races. Swim is several hundred meters shorter from 3.8k. Bike is 2k short from 180k. Run is 500 meters short from a full marathon.

Evidence for this claim? Marathon 500 m short -1:30-2:00 mins, so his marathon would have been around 2:32:00-2:34:00, still outstanding…..Why do Roth organizers allow these short course aberrations?

Not true. You have to add T2 to the Marathon distance and you get 26.2mi. This is normal for Ironman distance triathlons. Nothing to see here.
Roth is fast because you swim in a lake and the weather is moderate.
