Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Awnaliese Amos #7008 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Pacing Carries a Solid Step Up in Distance Awnaliese Amos moved from last year's sprint-distance Spudman into the Olympic distance this time out, finishing in 4:28:00. She handled the downstream swim in 31:02 and cleared T1 in six minutes before settling into a bike leg that averaged roughly 10.7 mph over the course, a pace that held steady across the rolling middle miles before easing slightly near the finish. Her second transition was a highlight just 2:16, one of the more efficient turnarounds in the field. The run leg took 1:38:34, translating to a pace in the 15:3016:00 per mile range for much of the second half. Compared to her sharper sprint-distance splits from 2025, the run presents a clear opportunity: building endurance-specific run fitness could help her close out future Olympic-distance races with more consistent late-race speed.
