Triathlon Time Formula

 

Predicted 140.6 Triathlon Time (h:m:s)

·         Actual half marathon time x 2.388305 = marathon time

o   1:48:55 x 2.388305 = 4:20:7.57

·         Marathon time x 3 = 140.6 tri time

o   4:20:7.57 x 3 = 13:0:22.72

·         Bicycle 180.25 km (112 mile) split = 140.6 tri time / 1.8561

o   13:0:22.72 / 1.8561 = 7:0:26.4

·         Swim 3.86 km (2.4 mile) split = Subtracting run and bicycle time from 140.6 tri time

o   13:0:22.72 – 7:0:26.4 – 4:20:7.57 = 1:39:48.75

·         Summary

o   140.6 triathlon time 13:0:22.72

o   Swim 3.86 km (2.4 miles) 1:39:48.75

o   Bicycle 180.25 km (112 miles) 7:0:26.4

o   Run 42.2 km (26.2 miles) 4:20:7.57

 

Predicted 70.3 Triathlon Time (h:m:s)

·         Actual half marathon time x 3 = 70.3 tri time

o   1:48:55 x 3 = 5:26:45

·         Bicycle 90.12 km (56 mile) split = 70.3 tri time / 1.8561

o   5:26:45 / 1.8561 = 2:56:2.47

·         Swim 1.93 km (1.2mile) split = Subtracting run and bicycle time from 70.3 tri time

o   5:26:45 – 2:56:2.47 – 1:48:55 = 0:41:47.53

·         Summary

o   70.3 triathlon time 5:26:45

o   Swim 1.93 km (1.2 miles) 0:41:47.53

o   Bicycle 90.12 km (56 miles) 2:56:2.47

o   Run 21.1 km (13.1 miles) 1:48:55

 

Half Marathon Time Translating to Triathlon Time

Half marathon time x 3 = 70.3 tri time

Half marathon time x 2.388305 x 3 (7.164915) = 140.6 tri time

1 minute of half marathon = 7.164915 minutes of 140.6 triathlon

1:7:24.71 half marathon = 8:3:0 (1:7:24.71 x 7.164915) 140.6 tri time

17 hour 140.6 tri time limit equates to half marathon training runs faster than 2:22:21.62

(17 / 7.164915)

 

Predicted Olympic Distance Triathlon Time (h:m:s)

·         Swim 1.5 km split = reducing 1.2 mile (1.93 km) 70.3 tri swim time

o   0:41:47.53 x (1.5/1.93) = 0:32:27.63

·         Bike 40 km split = reducing 56 mile (90.12 km) 70.3 tri bike time x 5% faster

o   2:56:2.47 x (40/90.12) x 0.95 = 1:14:13.61

·         Run 10 km split = half marathon time / 2.388305

o   1:48:55 / 2.388305 = 0:45:36.25

·         Summary

o   Olympic triathlon time 2:32:17.49

o   Swim 1.5 km 0:32:27.63

o   Bicycle 40 km 1:14:13.61

o   Run 10 km 0:45:36.25

 

140.6 Tri Time: Starting from a 0:45:36.25 10 km Run Time

·         10 km run x 2.388305 = half marathon time

o   0:45:36.25 x 2.388305 = 1:48:55

·         Half marathon x 2.388305 = 140.6 tri marathon run time

o   1:48:55 x 2.388305 = 4:20:7.57

·         140.6 tri marathon time x 3 = 140.6 tri time

o   4:20:7.57 x 3 = 13:0:22.71

·         140.6 tri time / 1.8561 = bike 112 mile (180.25 km) split

o   13:0:22.71 / 1.8561 = 7:0:26.39

·         Swim 2.4 mile (3.86 km) = Subtract bike and run time from 140.6 tri time

o   13:0:22.71 – 7:0:26.39 – 4:20:7.57 = 1:39:48.75

 

Olympic Tri Time: Starting from a 1:48:55 Half Marathon Run Time

·         Actual half marathon time x 3 = 70.3 tri time

o   1:48:55 x 3 = 5:26:45

·         Bicycle 90.12 km (56 mile) split = 70.3 tri time / 1.8561

o   5:26:45 / 1.8561 = 2:56:2.47

·         Swim 1.93 km (1.2mile) split = Subtracting run and bicycle time from 70.3 tri time

o   5:26:45 – 2:56:2.47 – 1:48:55 = 0:41:47.53

·         Swim 1.5 km split = reducing 1.2 mile (1.93 km) 70.3 tri swim time

o   0:41:47.53 x (1.5/1.93) = 0:32:27.63

o   2:56:2.47 x (40/90.12) x 0.95 = 1:14:13.61

·         Run 10 km split = half marathon time / 2.388305

o   1:48:55 / 2.388305 = 0:45:36.25

·         Summary
