Faster than most Georgia sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:10:34, against 1:28:45 in a typical Georgia sprint triathlon, so times here run 20 percent faster.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Around March 27 the day usually runs from 51°F at dawn to 74°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 19% of days. Cold snaps dip to 42°F and hot years reach 83°F.
