Young Racer Shows a Powerful Finishing Kick Chloe Ott completed her sprint triathlon in 2:30:51, finishing 401st overall and 35th in her 119 age division. Her bike leg covered roughly 12.4 miles at an estimated 9.8 mph, showing steady, controlled pacing through the ride. The real standout came late in the run: during one stretch covering nearly a mile, she vaulted to 104th overall and 9th in her division, a huge surge compared to her placing elsewhere in the race. That late burst is a great sign of strong closing speed and mental toughness. One area to work on is transition efficiency, particularly T1, which took just under 8 minutes. Shaving time there could meaningfully lower her overall finish time. For a 12-year-old racing this distance, showing the ability to accelerate late in a run is an excellent foundation to build on for future races.
