Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Riley Meng #4184 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Strong Bike Leg Powers a Solid Olympic Effort Riley Meng completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 3:33:32, finishing 1065th overall out of 1987 competitors and 101st in the competitive 30-34 age group. Riley exited the water in 23:38 for the swim, transitioning quickly through T1 in just 3:32. The bike leg was the standout segment, covering the course at a strong pace of roughly 15 mph, showing good power and consistency on two wheels. After a smooth T2 in 5:05, Riley moved into the run portion, completing it in 1:23:43. Riley's swim and bike splits point to well-rounded aerobic fitness, and building more run-specific speed work could help bring the overall pace closer to the strength shown on the bike. With a strong foundation already in place, the run leg represents a great opportunity for continued growth heading into future races.
