Steady Pacing Fuels a Solid Olympic-Distance Finish Daniel Rigby completed the Olympic triathlon in 3:17:26, finishing 833rd overall and 657th among men. His swim carried him through the current in just under 29 minutes, setting up a bike leg where he averaged roughly 14.6 mph over the course. Notably, his mid-race bike splits were his strongest stretch, including a 5.6-mile segment covered at nearly 17 mph, showing good power once he settled into a rhythm. Off the bike, Daniel maintained a consistent run effort, averaging around a 9:14 per mile pace across the 6.2-mile run to close out the race. His transitions were efficient, with T1 and T2 combined taking just over 11 minutes. Looking ahead, finding ways to carry that strong mid-bike speed through the entire cycling leg could help him build on this well-rounded performance.
