Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Seth Bingham #1014 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Powerful Bike Legs Fuel a Strong Overall Showing Seth Bingham completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 2:15:17, placing 18th overall out of 1,987 finishers and 5th in the Elite Men division. His bike leg was the standout, averaging nearly 21 mph over the course, with several early segments ranking him as high as 2nd among Elite Men. A steady swim exit in 35th place overall was quickly converted into a top-20 position by the end of T1, showing efficient transition work. Compared to his 2025 Spudman performance, where he finished in 2:04:46 (12th overall), this year's result came in slower. The run splits reveal a gradual pace decline, moving from 6:27 to nearly 8:00 min/mile over the final miles. Building run endurance to maintain pace after a strong bike effort could help close that gap and push closer to last year's overall finish time.
