Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Adam Stucki #9501 Race: 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon Event: Sprint Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Effort Across Every Leg, But Transitions Tell the Real Story Adam Stucki completed the 2026 Spudman Sprint Triathlon in 2:48:40, finishing 430th overall out of 570 and 40th in his 20-29 age group. His swim came in at 23:59, followed by a bike split of 1:14:17 over roughly 12.45 miles an average of about 10.1 mph. He closed with a 52:02 run, showing solid endurance to the finish line, including a strong final surge to the announcer's chute. Compared to his 2024 (2:24:32) and 2025 (2:22:32) Spudman finishes, this year's overall time was slower. The biggest area to target for improvement lies in the transitions: T1 took 8:10 and T2 stretched to 10:15, together accounting for over 18 minutes of the race. Tightening up time spent in the transition zones could meaningfully improve his overall finish time without needing to change his swim, bike, or run fitness at all.
