Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Kylie Bolton #3035 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Strong Bike Effort Offset by Lengthy Transitions Kylie completed her third Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 3:55:40, finishing 352nd among 987 women and 32nd in her 40-44 division. Her swim came in at 30:40, followed by a bike leg covering roughly 24.4 miles at an average of 13.1 mph highlighted by a strong mid-ride push through the B5 segment, where she covered 5.6 miles at a 15.4 mph clip, one of her fastest stretches of the day. Her run settled into a steady 11:0011:40 per mile rhythm before a notable final kick, dropping to a 10:23 pace over the last mile and sprinting the final tenth at 5:26 pace. Both transitions ran long T1 at 15:16 and T2 at 7:34 representing the clearest opportunity for shaving time in future races. Compared to her 2022 (3:49:07) and 2025 (3:54:50) results, this was her slowest finish at Spudman, though her bike strength remained a consistent highlight.
