Steady Climb to the Podium Blake Jenkins delivered his strongest Spudman Olympic performance yet, finishing 2nd overall and 2nd among Elite Men in 2:02:27. This continues a clear upward trend from 18th overall in 2024 and 6th in 2025, showing consistent development across all three disciplines. The swim leg covered 0.86 miles in 17:00, followed by a swift 1:38 T1 transition. On the bike, Jenkins covered roughly 24.4 miles in 1:01:36, averaging an impressive 23.75 mph, a key factor in moving into podium contention. A crisp 1:00 T2 kept momentum rolling into the run, where he covered 6.21 miles in 41:15, holding a strong 6:38/mile pace to secure the runner-up finish. With bike splits ranking as high as 2nd overall and consistent top-5 positioning throughout the race, this result reflects meaningful gains in both bike power and overall race execution compared to previous years.
