Strong Bike Surge Highlights a Well-Paced Olympic Effort Ben posted a solid swim leg before settling into a bike ride that averaged roughly 14.2 mph over the 24.4-mile course. His pacing showed real strength in the middle miles, particularly during a stretch where he clocked a blistering 15 mph, climbing over 400 overall spots during that segment alone a clear sign of strong bike fitness once he found his rhythm. The run leg covered 6.2 miles with pacing generally in the 12:4013:00 min/mile range for the bulk of the effort, showing consistent effort through the middle portion of the run. A slower patch appeared late in the run, suggesting some fatigue in the closing miles. Transitions were efficient, especially T2 at under 5 minutes. Overall, a well-rounded Olympic-distance performance with a clear bike strength to build on.
