Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Whitnie Stark #7201 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

Consistent Pacing Capped by a Strong Finishing Kick Whitnie Stark completed her Olympic-distance day in 4:39:41, moving steadily through all three disciplines. Her bike leg averaged roughly 13 mph, and included a standout middle stretch where she climbed into the top 500 overall and top 155 among women, a clear sign of real strength once she settled into the ride. The run proved tougher, with early miles settling into the high-teens per mile, but Whitnie found another gear late, dropping to a 6:16 pace over the final tenth of a mile to cross the finish strong. Transitions ran a bit long on both ends, a good area to target for future races. Overall, a well-rounded effort anchored by a strong bike stretch and a finishing kick worth building on.
