What a first sprint takes

Half of sprint triathletes in Oregon finish in 1:40:19 or less, and three quarters in 1:53:24. The slowest tenth take 2:06:35 or more, so finishing is the goal, not the clock.
A typical finisher swims about 16:50, bikes 42:59 and runs 30:36, plus a few minutes in each transition. The bike is the longest leg by far.
Sprint entry fees in Oregon usually run $83 to $192, 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.
