Supertri Introduces LevelField: A New Way to Measure Triathlon

Athletes racing Supertri events will be the first in the world to experience a new performance measurement system that changes what a finish time actually means.

Crossing a finish line has always produced a number. A chip time. An overall ranking. A position in an age group bracket five years wide.

What it has never reliably produced is an answer to the question every triathlete asks when they get home and look at their results: how did I actually do?

LevelField will change that.

What Is LevelField?

LevelField is a performance measurement system that separates what you did from the variables that distort your finish time: your age, your gender, the course profile, and the specific weather conditions during your race.

Traditional results sort athletes by the clock and call it performance. LevelField builds a result from the ground up, working back from your finish time through the actual course and conditions to derive your underlying physiological output, then simulating what that performance would produce on a level field. The output is a finish time that reflects what you actually delivered, not just where you landed.

Two athletes can cross the line an hour apart and produce the same LevelField result. Two athletes can cross seconds apart and produce very different ones. That is the point.

Age group brackets reward the edges and obscure the middle. A 49-year-old and a 50-year-old are one year apart in real life and different competitions on the results sheet. LevelField adjusts continuously, with no brackets and no cliffs. Every year of age, every point on the performance curve, calibrated individually.

The leaderboard looks different when it accounts for all of this. Athletes who finish mid-pack by the clock routinely rank near the top when performance is measured properly. That is not a consolation prize. It is a more accurate answer.

Part of Something Bigger

LevelField is part of Supertri's ongoing partnership with TriDot, the AI training platform that already powers the Supertri First Timer Programme. The First Timer Programme, offered free to first-time triathletes at every Supertri event, is built on TriDot's training methodology. Thousands of athletes will cross their first finish line having trained on TriDot plans, supported by Supertri coaches and ambassadors, from Lady Bird Lake to the shores of Lake Michigan.

LevelField extends that commitment from how athletes prepare to how their performance is understood and recognised when they finish.

Together, the partnership reflects a straightforward belief: that every athlete who toes the start line, from a first-timer in the Supersprint to a veteran chasing a podium in the Olympic, deserves a result that actually measures what they did.

What Athletes Will Receive

Every finisher from Supertri Austin onwards will receive:

A LevelField result. Calculated from finish time, course data, age, gender, and race-day conditions. Comparable to every other athlete in the field.

A full LevelField leaderboard. Going live after the race, showing where every athlete landed when performance is measured, not just sorted.

A shareable result card. Because a number that actually means something is worth sharing.

Athletes who race a Supertri event also establish a LevelField baseline. Return for a future Supertri event and that baseline becomes the foundation for the Most Improved category, recognising the athletes who made the biggest gains, regardless of pace or finishing position.

The Home of Modern Triathlon

Supertri is built to make the sport more inclusive, more social, and more rewarding. Nine events. Three continents. A global community of athletes from first-timers to professionals, racing together on the same courses, celebrated at the same finish lines.

LevelField fits that vision exactly. A system that works for every athlete in the field, at every pace, at every distance. It rewards the effort behind the result, not just the result itself.
