Bike Surge Highlights a Strong Olympic Effort Ashlyn Shelton finished the Olympic-distance race in 3:39:04, placing 287th among women and 37th in her 25-29 division. After exiting the swim in 28:42 and a brisk 5:11 transition, she found her rhythm on the bike, averaging roughly 14.5 mph over the 24.4-mile course. Her strongest stretch came between miles 14 and 19, where she climbed as high as 368th overall a big jump from 766th right after T1 showing real strength and confidence on two wheels. The run proved tougher, as her overall position gradually settled back to 1125th by the finish. Given how much ground she gained on the bike, building run durability could help her convert that bike fitness into a stronger finish. Overall, a solid, well-paced Olympic debut with a clear bike strength to build from.
