Powerful Bike Split Anchors a Solid Endurance Performance Scott completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 3:10:20, placing 700th out of 1,987 finishers and 38th in the competitive men's 45-49 division. His swim (24:23) and T1 (4:40) got him off to a clean start, but the bike leg was the highlight of the day averaging roughly 16.2 mph overall, including a standout mid-ride stretch where he covered 5.6 miles at nearly 18 mph. A snappy 3:00 T2 kept his momentum rolling into the run. The run told a different story, opening strong with a 9:11 first mile before settling into an 11:0012:45 per-mile range over the final stretches. That fade suggests his legs felt the effects of a hard-charging bike leg. Building more run-specific endurance to sustain that early pace could help him close out races with the same strength he shows on two wheels.
