Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Jolene Erickson #7086 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Effort With a Standout Bike Surge Jolene Erickson completed her Olympic-distance race with a well-paced bike leg, averaging roughly 12.2 mph across the course. One standout segment, covering miles 14 to 19, saw her clock nearly a 4:00/mile pace pace, a clear high point in her ride and a notable jump from her overall bike average. Her swim and transitions were consistent with her competitive history, showing steady execution through each phase of the race. The run leg maintained a steady rhythm, holding pace in the 13:3014:00/mile range for most of the second half. While her overall finish time was a bit longer than her 2025 Spudman performance, her bike segment this year showed strong power and control, suggesting a solid base to build from. Continued focus on tightening transition times could help her close the gap to last years faster finish.
