Where a finish time would have placed in 2026.
At the 2026 Defuniak Springs Sprint Triathlon, the bike decided the most: the middle of the field lost about 7:01 to the top quarter there, 46% of the gap across the three legs.
Compared with a typical sprint triathlon in Florida, the median swim here was 4:15 slower, the bike 9:04 slower and the run 1:21 faster (swim lengths differ from race to race).
| Leg | Top 10% | Top 25% | Median | Slowest 25% |

Slower than most Florida sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:22:57, against 1:10:57 in a typical Florida sprint triathlon, so times here run 17 percent slower.
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 May 1 the day usually runs from 63°F at dawn to 84°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 55°F and hot years reach 89°F.
