Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: JT Tumanuvao #9516 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Bike Surge and Strong Closing Kick Highlight Balanced Effort JT opened with a steady river swim before settling into the bike course, where his pacing built noticeably as the ride progressed. After a moderate start, he found another gear over the back half, pushing through one stretch at nearly 19.4 mph a clear sign of strong bike fitness and smart pacing that let him finish the ride stronger than he started it. Transitions were on the longer side, particularly T2 at over 13 minutes, an area worth tightening up in future races. The run settled into a workmanlike rhythm, with some pace variation across the middle miles before a standout finish JT dropped to a blistering 3:31/mile pace over the final tenth of a mile, showing excellent closing speed and a strong competitive kick to the line.
