Triathlon Calculator

This triathlon calculator helps you to calculate your final time or the speeds and paces needed to achieve your target time in a triathlon race. Enter all the individual race times or speed/paces and include the transition times to get the total time. You can use preset race distances or your own custom distances.

How to Use the Calculator?

Using the triathlon calculator is easy.

• First select the units and the distances you want to use.
• Then enter either the pace/speed or the target time for each individual race.
• If you enter the pace/speed the time is calculated automatically based on the currently selected distance.
• If you enter the target time the pace/speed is calculated automatically for the selected distance.
• If you change the distance the pace/speed remains the same and the time for each individual race is recalculated.

The total time is automatically calculated after every input. Try it out yourself with the triathlon calculator above.
