Steady Bike Split Anchors a Determined Olympic-Distance Finish Chris Bingham completed the Olympic-distance event in 4:43:24, highlighted by a strong bike leg where he averaged roughly 13.7 mph over the course. This portion of the race showed consistent effort, with several intermediate splits holding pace between 1214 mph despite some rolling elevation changes along the route. The swim went smoothly at just under 40 minutes, aided by the Snake River's current, while transitions (T1: 17:24, T2: 10:23) were on the longer side and represent a clear area to gain time in future events. The run leg settled into a steady rhythm in the 17-18 minute per mile range, finishing strong late in the race. Overall, this race reflects balanced pacing across all three disciplines, with transition efficiency offering the most room for improvement in future outings.
