Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Zachary Yancey #9553 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Strong Bike Surge Highlights a Solid All-Around Finish Zachary Yancey completed the Spudman Sprint Triathlon in 2:12:34, finishing 332nd overall and 165th among men. After a 25:28 swim and steady 56:02 bike leg, his cycling data shows real strength in the back half of the coursesplits tightened from 5:23/mile early on to as fast as 3:46/mile by mile 12, translating to an average speed of roughly 13.3 mph. That late-race surge on the bike suggests good pacing management and a strong finishing kick into T2. The 38:38 run had a standout stretch: the segment from roughly mile 1.5 to 2.5 was covered at a 12:59/mile pace, good enough for 9th in his 20-29 age group for that portion and 45th among all men. Maintaining that intensity through the remainder of the run could yield an even stronger finish next time out.
