Question 1

What is a triathlon pace calculator?

Accepted Answer

A triathlon pace calculator is a specialized training and racing tool designed to help athletes estimate their total race duration, individual leg splits, and transitions (T1 and T2). By inputting target swim paces, bike speeds, and run paces, athletes can dial in their race strategy to prevent overexertion.

Question 2

What are standard transition times (T1 & T2) for a triathlon?

Accepted Answer

For recreational athletes, standard transition times range from 3 to 6 minutes for T1 (Swim to Bike) and 2 to 4 minutes for T2 (Bike to Run). Elite and competitive age-group athletes aim for under 2 minutes in T1 and under 90 seconds in T2 by using elastic laces and flying mounts.

Question 3

What is a good bike split for an Ironman or 70.3?

Accepted Answer

A good 70.3 bike split typically ranges from 2:15 to 2:45 for competitive athletes, and 3:00 to 3:30 for beginners. For a full Ironman, competitive riders target 5:00 to 5:45, while beginners typically range from 6:30 to 7:45. Pacing correctly at 70-80% of FTP is critical to prevent a blow-up during the marathon.

Question 4

How is triathlon swim pace calculated?

Accepted Answer

Triathlon swim pace is calculated as duration per unit of distance, typically formatted as minutes and seconds per 100 meters (min/100m) in metric countries, or per 100 yards (min/100yd) in imperial regions like the United States.
