Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Braxen Fry #5087 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Consistent Effort Across Three Disciplines Fuels a Solid Olympic-Distance Finish Braxen Fry turned in a well-rounded performance at the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon, opening with a strong swim leg that placed him inside the top 40% of the field exiting the water. He carried that momentum into a quick transition before settling into the bike leg, averaging roughly 13.3 mph over the 24-mile coursea leg that saw some variation in effort but ultimately kept him competitive through the midpoint of the race. Off the bike, Braxen maintained a steady pace through the run, closing out the 10K with composure and finishing the race in 3:22:29. His swim-to-bike transition was efficient, and while the second transition ran a bit longer, it didn't derail his overall rhythm. As he continues to build fitness across all three disciplines, tightening up bike pacing consistency could be a good focus area for future races to help carry more speed into the run.
