Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Hannah Jones #2150 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Strong Swim Leads the Way, Run Proves the Toughest Leg Hannah Jones opened her Olympic-distance day with a standout swim, exiting the water in the top 30 of her age group and ahead of over 1,000 competitors overall a clear strength to build on. She carried solid momentum into the bike leg, averaging just over 16 mph across the 24-mile ride and holding her position relative to the field through each split. The run told a different story, with pacing gradually slowing from the mid-14:00s per mile early on to the high-16:00s and beyond by the final miles. This late fade dropped her overall standing from the top third of the field after the bike to 1,325th by the finish. For her next race, targeting a more even run pacing strategy perhaps starting more conservatively off the bike could help her hold onto the strong positioning her swim and bike consistently earn her.
