Steady Effort Across All Three Legs Anchors a Solid Sprint Finish Sarah Dalton completed her sprint triathlon in 2:28:52, finishing 205th among 570 women. Her swim came in at 19:30, and after a lengthier T1 of 11:41, she settled into the bike leg, covering the course at an average of roughly 10.5 mph over 1:10:52. Early bike splits showed strong turnover, with pace dipping into the 6:007:00 min/mile range before tapering off in the later miles, suggesting some fatigue as the ride progressed. Off the bike, Sarah moved through T2 in 4:52 before starting her run at a 13:15 min/mile clip through the middle miles. Her pace eased slightly in the final stretch, closing with a 14:47 min/mile split before a strong final push to the line. Overall, she finished 41st in her 40-49 division. Looking ahead, maintaining bike intensity through the back half and holding run pace steady in the closing miles could help sharpen her overall time.
