Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: David Dent #9122 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Strong Swim Start Fuels a Steady Sprint Finish David Dent completed the 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon in 2:30:56, finishing 403rd overall out of 570 and 33rd in the Men's 40-49 division. His swim was a highlight, clocking 17:32 for 98th overall and 53rd among mena strong start that set the tone for the race. On the bike, he averaged roughly 11.9 mph over the 12.45-mile course, holding a steady rhythm through the middle miles before easing pace slightly toward the final stretch. The run proved the most challenging leg, with pacing dropping from around 12:38/mile early on to over 16:00/mile by the final miles, contributing to a slower overall run split. T1 and T2 combined took nearly 22 minutes, suggesting quicker transitions could shave meaningful time off his final result. This marks a step up from this athlete's 2025 Spudman Olympic finish in the non-competitive division, showing continued engagement with the event at a more competitive level.
