USAT Rankings (15)

On an unrelated note, I’ve done almost all triathlons but have done 3 duathlons, and for whatever reason, my duathlon scores are much higher than my triathlon scores despite the same exact fitness (races were done very close together.) My duathlon scores were like 95+ and my triathlon scores were like 80 at the time. I’ve gotten faster since though!

So are mine. Almost exactly. I’m an 80 point triathlete and a 95-103 point duathlete. It could be weaker, smaller fields or it could be that it’s better to do my strength twice and not do my weakness at all. A typical triathlon will be a swim in the 50-60 percentile, bike around the 66th and run between the 80-90 percentile, so I definitely should score better in duathlon.
