Your first triathlon in Kansas

What a first sprint takes

• Half of sprint triathletes in the US finish in 1:34:26 or less, and three quarters in 1:50:30. The slowest tenth take 2:08:56 or more, so finishing is the goal, not the clock.
• A typical finisher swims about 12:10, bikes 45:45 and runs 29:05, plus a few minutes in each transition. The bike is the longest leg by far.
• Sprint entry fees in Kansas usually run $91 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.
