About average for US olympic triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 olympic triathlon field finished under 2:43:09, against 2:43:48 in a typical US olympic 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.
