Faster than most Texas sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:17:07, against 1:20:28 in a typical Texas sprint triathlon, so times here run 4 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.
