Powerful Bike Leg Drives a Top-Five Age Group Finish A strong all-around performance placed this athlete 4th in the 40-49 Sprint Female division and 22nd among all women finishers. The bike leg stood out as the highlight, covering the course at an average of roughly 16.2 mph and moving up from 20th to 7th in the division by the time transition two began. That bike strength carried momentum into a steady run, where consistent mile splits helped close out the race with a final overall placement of 66th out of 570 participants. Transitions were efficient throughout, with a brisk 1:29 T2 helping preserve the bike-to-run rhythm. The swim leg, while solid, offered the most room to build speed relative to the rest of the field, presenting a clear focus area for continued training. Overall, this was a well-balanced race with a especially strong cycling performance as the standout segment.
