Frequently asked questions
What's a good Olympic triathlon finish time?
Recreational athletes typically finish an Olympic triathlon in 2:30-3:30. Sub-2:30 is competitive; sub-2:00 is elite age-group level. Times vary hugely with course difficulty, weather and swim conditions.
Which leg slows most people down?
The run, for most triathletes — you start it already fatigued from swimming and cycling. Brick training (bike + run back-to-back) specifically prepares the legs for the run after a hard bike.
