Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Joslyn Cooper #7052 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Powerful Bike Leg Anchors a Steady Olympic Debut Joslyn Cooper completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 4:05:44, finishing 390th among 1987 women. Her bike leg was the highlight of the day covering roughly 24.4 miles in 2:03:58, an average of about 11.8 mph, a strong, consistent effort that moved her up through the field compared to her swim position. The swim (29:10) and transitions were solid, with T1 and T2 combined taking under 13 minutes, showing good transition efficiency. The run proved the most challenging segment, with a 1:19:54 split over roughly 6.2 miles, averaging close to 12:52 per mile. Pacing dipped in the middle miles, suggesting room to build run endurance off the bike. Overall, Cooper's day reflects a well-rounded effort with a clear bike strength to build from and an opportunity to sharpen run consistency in future races.
