Your first triathlon in Pennsylvania

What a first sprint takes

• Half of sprint triathletes in Pennsylvania finish in 1:35:09 or less, and three quarters in 1:50:53. The slowest tenth take 2:06:35 or more, so finishing is the goal, not the clock.
• A typical finisher swims about 14:56, bikes 46:40 and runs 29:02, plus a few minutes in each transition. The bike is the longest leg by far.
• Sprint entry fees in Pennsylvania usually run $75 to $130, 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.
