What a first sprint takes
- Half of sprint triathletes in New York finish in 1:42:40 or less, and three quarters in 1:55:36. The slowest tenth take 2:08:13 or more, so finishing is the goal, not the clock.
- A typical finisher swims about 13:30, bikes 44:19 and runs 26:34, plus a few minutes in each transition. The bike is the longest leg by far.
- Sprint entry fees in New York usually run $89 to $140, 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.
