How fast is it?
About average for US olympic triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 olympic triathlon field finished under 2:44:38, against 2:43:48 in a typical US olympic triathlon, so times here are about average.
- Sprint Triathlon: About average for Texas sprint triathlons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:20:28, against 1:20:28 in a typical Texas sprint triathlon, so times here are about average.
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.
