Is there any suggested bodyfat percent for Ironman triathletes?
I am currently 198 lbs, with 15.8% bodyfat, my goal is 10% bodyfat or 184. How long should I take to lose this weight? My thought was 1-2 pounds per week, so by late February. Should I get lighter than this?

How tall are you? What is your current BMI? How long have you been at ^^^this^^^ weight? 1 pound a week is the EN prescribed weight loss schedule. Sub 10% BF is a great goal.0

I am 6'5", my BMI was 23.2 this morning. I have been creeping up to this weight since September.0

184 would give you BMI of 21+/-. Your going to want to hang some muscle on that skin and bones so I wouldn't target anything less than that. Maybe get down to that weight measure your BF and then gain some lean muscle mass while maintaining that same BF.
