Solid Bike Power Anchors a Well-Rounded Olympic Finish Doug Woodruff completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 3:36:03, placing 1091st overall and 814th among men, with a 23rd-place finish in the tightly competitive 60-64 age group. His race showed a strong aerobic engine on the bike, where he averaged roughly 16.4 mph over the 24.4-mile course, highlighted by a standout middle stretch where he moved up to 298th overall and 6th in his division. The run proved more demanding, with pacing settling near 14:30 per mile through the closing miles, a noticeable step back from his sub-6:20 overall paces in 2023-2025. Given his consistent Spudman historyfinishing in the 3:14 to 3:20 range in three prior appearancesthis year's time suggests room to rebuild run-specific endurance heading into next season, while his bike strength remains a clear asset to build around.
