Your first triathlon in Florida

What a first sprint takes

• Half of sprint triathletes in Florida finish in 1:20:30 or less, and three quarters in 1:32:18. The slowest tenth take 1:44:54 or more, so finishing is the goal, not the clock.
• A typical finisher swims about 10:13, bikes 34:20 and runs 29:21, plus a few minutes in each transition. The bike is the longest leg by far.
• Sprint entry fees in Florida usually run $100 to $150, before processing fees. Most rise as race day nears.
• In open water, USA Triathlon age-group rules allow wetsuits at 78°F and below; race pages here show the typical water temperature where we can estimate it.
