Consistent Bike Strength Anchors a Well-Paced Olympic Finish Brandon Probst completed the Olympic distance in 3:12:56, finishing 750th overall out of 1,987 and 600th among men. His race showed a strong aerobic engine on the bike, where he averaged roughly 17.3 mph, a notable highlight given the demands of the full distance. This pace pushed him into the top 300 overall at one point during the ride, showing real strength once he settled into rhythm. The run told a different story, starting quick off the bike but gradually slowing over the final miles, dropping his position slightly by the finish. This pattern suggests his bike effort may have been slightly aggressive relative to his run fitness. Incorporating brick workouts that simulate race-day bike-to-run transitions could help him carry more of that cycling strength into a steadier back half on the run in future races.
