Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Katie Woolf #6302 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Steady Endurance Effort Highlighted by a Strong Mid-Bike Surge Katie completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 4:24:14, finishing 426th among women and 43rd in her 40-44 division. Her swim was smooth and consistent, transitioning cleanly into a bike leg that covered just over 24 miles at an average of roughly 11.3 mph. A standout stretch came during the middle portion of the ride, where she pushed her pace up significantly faster than her overall averageshowing a strong ability to surge when conditions allowed. The run followed a steady rhythm, holding pace within a tight range over the final miles, a sign of good pacing discipline even as fatigue set in. Compared to her previous Spudman finishes in 2022, 2023, and 2025, this year's overall time was slower, suggesting this may not have been an all-out effort or that conditions played a factor. Katie's bike surge shows real strength to build on, and tightening pacing consistency across the swim and run could help her close the gap toward her faster past performances at this race.
