Compared with a typical sprint triathlon in South Carolina, the median swim here was 5:01 faster, the bike 15:44 slower and the run 1:48 slower (swim lengths differ from race to race).
| Leg | Top 10% | Top 25% | Median | Slowest 25% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swim | 4:21 | 4:44 | 5:22 | 6:00+ |

Slower than most South Carolina sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:25:06, against 1:14:04 in a typical South Carolina sprint triathlon, so times here run 15 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.
