Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Cooper Urmston #9518 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Fast Water Start Sets the Tone for a Strong Sprint Finish Cooper Urmston opened his race with an outstanding swim, finishing in the top 10% of the entire field (48th overall, 31st among men) and ranking 10th in his division out of the water. That early strength carried into a steady transition and a bike leg where he averaged just over 14 mph, holding a consistent group position through the courses rolling terrain. The run proved to be the toughest of his three disciplines, with his pace gradually settling as fatigue set in over the final miles. Still, Cooper crossed the line in 2:06:36, placing 292nd overall out of 570 and 33rd in the mens 30-39 division. His swim performance stands out as the highlight of the day a great foundation to build from as he looks to bring more consistency to his run split in future races.
