FTP Racing percentage for Olympic Distance Tri and Time Trials

Hi Jo!

Here’s a generally agreed upon table of percent of FTP that you should target for the below distances:

Race distance % of FTP
Sprint 90–105%
Olympic 85–95%
Half-Ironman 75–85%
Ironman 65–80%

A Sprint Distance Tri would have a 20km TT, and the Olympic Tri would fit your 40km TT well. For the 34km TT, you’ll want to target somewhere around 90-95% FTP.

I hope this helps!
