About benchmarks
Benchmark times provide coaches with an estimate of an athlete's ability to not only complete a draft-legal triathlon but also qualify for the National Championship. Benchmark times place emphasis on the swim as it is a key to success in draft-legal triathlon—starting the bike with the lead group minimizes the chances of being lapped out. It should be noted that meeting benchmark times alone may not be enough to prepare an athlete for draft-legal triathlon. Following are our benchmark times for the 2024 season.
