Date: July 25, 2026 Participant: Holly Curtis #7064 Race: 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon Event: Olympic Triathlon Weather: Hot, but otherwise a great day for a triathlon.

A Powerful Bike Leg Anchors a Hard-Earned Finish Holly Curtis opened her race with a steady swim before settling into the bike course, where she found her rhythm. Her average bike speed hovered around 14.5 mph, but she showed real strength mid-ride, pushing one stretch at roughly 17.2 mph and another near 16.6 mph a clear sign of solid power on rolling terrain. Transitions were efficient, keeping the momentum from one discipline to the next. The run proved to be the toughest segment of the day, with her pace slowing significantly compared to her bike effort. This showed up in her overall time of 3:57:56, a step back from her 3:43:10 finish in 2025 and her 3:39:44 result in 2022. With her bike fitness clearly trending upward, targeted run endurance work could help her recapture those faster overall finishes in future Spudman races.
