Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Greg Jorgenson #5152 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

A Strong Mid-Bike Surge Couldn't Offset a Fading Finish Greg crossed the line in 3:36:19, his slowest Spudman finish across four appearances (2022: 3:23:07, 2023: 3:21:52, 2025: 3:16:58). After a steady swim, he found his rhythm on the bike, delivering two standout mid-ride segments a 5.6-mile stretch at roughly 16.7 mph and a 4.6-mile push near 17.2 mph. Those efforts briefly rocketed him from outside the top-900 overall up to 325th at one point on the course, a clear sign of strong cycling fitness. The run told a different story, with pacing easing noticeably through the middle miles before he rallied for a strong closing kick over the final stretch into the finish chute. While the bike strength was a bright spot, it didn't fully translate into a faster overall time compared to his previous three Spudman results, pointing to the run as the clearest area to target in future training blocks.
