Triathlon time calculator

A triathlon is three races and two transitions, and the transitions are where amateurs lose the most time for the least effort.

  1. Swim distance = 1900
  2. Swim pace per 100 m = 2
  3. Bike distance = 90
  4. Bike speed = 30
  5. Run distance = 21.0975
  6. Run pace per km = 5.5
  7. Transition 1 = 3
  8. Transition 2 = 2
  9. Swim split = 1900 / 100 * 2 * 60 = 2280
  10. Bike split = 30 > 0 ? 90 / 30 * 3600 : 0 = 10 800
  11. Run split = 21.0975 * 5.5 * 60 = 6962.18
  12. Transitions = (3 + 2) * 60 = 300
  13. Total time = 2280 + 10 800 + 6962.18 + 300 = 20 342.2
  14. Bike as a share of the day = 20 342.2 > 0 ? 10 800/20 342.2*100 : 0 = 53.0917
  15. Transitions as a share = 20 342.2 > 0 ? 300/20 342.2*100 : 0 = 1.474 77

Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

    The formula

    • total = swim + T1 + bike + T2 + run
