Powerful Mid-Bike Surge Anchors a Well-Rounded Olympic Debut The swim came in at a steady 28:37, followed by a crisp 5:03 T1 that got things moving quickly onto the bike course. The 2:05:50 bike leg averaged roughly 11.6 mph overall, but one standout stretch saw a blistering 4:32/mile pace over 13 mph showing a real gear change and the ability to push hard when it counted. A quick 4:22 T2 kept the transition efficient heading into the run. The 1:10:36 run settled into an 11:23/mile average, with a strong closing kick dropping to 10:43/mile in the final stretch before an 18-second dash to the line. Consistency across the bike course could be the next area to sharpen, as smoothing out the pace between the fast and slower segments would likely shave meaningful time off the overall bike split.
