Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Jill Williams #7246 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Powerful Bike Leg Anchors a Resilient Finish Jill Williams completed the Olympic distance at Spudman in 3:41:13, moving through the water in just under 25 minutes before settling into a strong bike leg. Averaging nearly 15 mph over the 24-mile ride, she climbed steadily through the field, gaining dozens of overall positions by the bike's end. Transitions were crisp too, with T1 and T2 combining for just over 10 minutes. The run told a different story, with early miles ticking off around 13:20 per mile before fatigue set in over the closing stretch, slowing to nearly 16:00 per mile by the finish. Compared to her 2022 Spudman result of 2:53:24, this year's race came in noticeably slower overall. The bike strength stands out as a clear asset building similar consistency in the run could bring her overall time back down toward that 2022 benchmark.
