Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Hallie Cook #9090 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Pacing Fuels a Well-Rounded Sprint Performance Hallie Cook returned to Spudman this year after tackling the Olympic distance in 2025, this time taking on the Sprint course and finishing in 1:52:33 good for 176th overall and 75th among women. Her swim was a strong start, and she carried that momentum into a bike leg where she averaged roughly 11.9 mph, showing solid, consistent power output across the course's rolling terrain. Off the bike, Cook settled into a run pace of about 8:03 per mile over the 5k, closing out her race with composure. Her splits show a runner who paces evenly rather than fading, a valuable trait as she looks to build speed in future sprint efforts. With a strong aerobic base already evident from last year's Olympic finish, tightening transition times could be a good next focus area to shave a few extra minutes off her overall result.
