Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Kristi Thompson #9508 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Pacing Highlighted by a Strong Bike Leg Kristi Thompson opened with a smooth swim exit and a brisk transition into the bike course, where she found her rhythm. Averaging roughly 13.1 mph across the bike leg, she made notable gains through the middle miles, climbing into the top 300 overall by the 9-mile mark before easing off slightly in the closing stretch. Coming off the bike, Kristi maintained composure through a quick second transition and settled into a consistent run effort, holding paces in the 12:3014:00 range per mile through the finish. Her ability to sustain effort across three disciplines speaks to solid overall fitness. Looking ahead, tightening the final miles of the bike and carrying that momentum more directly into the run could help her close races with even more strength.
