Steady Bike Strength Anchors a Well-Paced Olympic Finish Jon completed the Olympic distance in 3:38:03, built on a 31:23 swim, a 1:32:26 bike, and a 1:18:51 run. The bike leg stood out, particularly a stretch covering 5.6 miles at roughly 18 mph, showing strong power output when the course allowed it. Overall bike speed settled around 15.8 mph, a solid average across the full ride. Transitions totaled 15:24 combined (8:37 in T1, 6:47 in T2), an area where trimming time could shave minutes off the overall result. The run showed a gradual pace decline from around 12:00/mile early to near 13:00/mile by mile 30, before a strong closing kick at 5:26 pace over the final tenth. Jon finished 31st in the 55-59 Male division, capping a race defined by a fast bike middle section and a determined final sprint to the line.
