Triathlon race predictor and race-day plan

Pick your race, add your swim, bike and run numbers, and get a predicted time for every leg, adjusted for the course climbing and the weather. Then get the full report by email: power and pace targets, plus a bike and run fuelling timeline.

1. Your race

Air and water temperatures are filled in from the race's typical race-day values. Change them to the forecast closer to race day.

2. Swim

Threshold pace comes from a 400 m and 200 m test: (400 time − 200 time) ÷ 2.

3. Bike

4. Run

Transitions (optional)

Left empty, we use 4:00 and 2:30 for a half, 6:00 and 4:00 for a full.

Before we send your report: your fuelling

Check the label on the gel you train with. We use these answers to build your bike and run fuelling timelines.

How it works

Three legs, one race-day plan.

The swim

Your threshold pace (CSS), adjusted for race distance, open water and wetsuit.

The bike

A physics model turns your FTP, weight and bike set-up into speed over the real climbing of the course, at a % of FTP that leaves legs for the run.

The run

Your open-run potential from a recent race, slowed for running off the bike, then adjusted for hills and heat.

Pace the bike

Most triathletes lose their run on the bike. Hold your target power, especially in the first hour, and the run takes care of itself.

Next step
