Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Ellie Davids #9115 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Dominant Debut Sprint Performance Claims Overall Female Title Ellie Davids delivered a statement performance, crossing the line in 1:24:09 to finish 7th overall and claim the overall female title, along with the top spot in her 20-29 division. Her bike leg was a highlight, averaging just under 18 mph, and she steadily climbed the field throughout that segmentmoving from 29th to 8th place by T2. Her run was equally impressive, holding a sub-6:40 pace per mile and posting the 3rd fastest run split of the day. This result marks a significant step forward from her 2024 Spudman appearance, where she competed in the Olympic distance and finished 491st among women. Transitioning to the sprint distance, Davids showed she can execute a well-rounded race from start to finish, with quick transitions (T1: 4:06, T2: 1:32) supporting her momentum. Her consistent pacing on the run, holding steady in the 6:30s per mile late in the race, suggests strong aerobic conditioning worth building on for future events.
