Steady Pacing Anchored by a Strong Bike Leg This race featured a well-paced swim (23:22) that set up a bike leg where speeds climbed impressively, peaking near 19.3 mph over the 12-mile mark before settling into a strong finish. Transitions were efficient, with T1 in 5:19 and T2 in just 3:28, helping maintain forward momentum into the run. The run itself was consistent, holding roughly 10:12/mile pace across the final 3.1 miles, finishing off a solid all-around effort that placed 5th in the competitive 60-69 Sprint Male division. Compared to last year's performance, this year's overall time (1:49:21) was about nine minutes slower than the 2025 result (1:40:21), suggesting the bike and run may offer opportunities to sharpen pacing for future races. Still, the swim split remained strong relative to prior years, and the ability to close with a stable run pace shows good endurance management. Continued focus on bike speed consistency could help trim time in upcoming events.
