Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Jake Larson #9321 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Consistent Effort Delivers a Top-15 Finish Jake Larson turned in a strong all-around performance, finishing 13th overall and 11th among men in a field of 570. His bike leg stood out, covering the course at roughly 16.4 mph, and he built on that with a solid run, closing his final mile at an impressive 3:29 pace. Both transitions were efficient, keeping his overall time tight and competitive throughout the race. Compared to his 2025 Spudman sprint result, Jake's overall time slipped slightly, but he maintained the same 4th-place finish in the 30-39 age group, showing steady consistency in a competitive division. His swim split placed him mid-pack, suggesting an area where incremental gains could help him move up further in future events. Overall, a well-executed race with clear strengths on the bike and run.
