Steady Pacing Fuels a Solid Sprint Finish Steve Towne turned in a well-rounded performance, finishing 141st overall out of 570 athletes and 85th among men. His bike leg stood out as the strongest segment of the day, covering the 12.45-mile course at an average speed of roughly 15.2 mph, a pace that steadily moved him up through the field during that stage. Transitions were efficient as well, with a quick T2 that kept his momentum going into the run. The 3.11-mile run came in at a 10:19 per mile pace, a reasonable effort following a strong bike leg. Swim pace was moderate at about 34:41 per 34.6 length yard equivalent (0.61 miles in 21:09), suggesting some room to build swim speed for future races. Overall, Towne's race showed strong cycling ability and consistent execution across transitionsan encouraging combination to build from as he continues developing his triathlon performance.
