Strong Bike Surge Fuels Steady Finish Christie Porter turned in a well-rounded sprint triathlon in Draper, climbing steadily through the field after a solid swim. She exited the water in the 204th position among women, then used a strong bike legaveraging roughly 15 mphto move up more than 70 spots in her division by the bike dismount, reaching as high as 33rd in her age group mid-ride. That bike strength was the highlight of her day, showing real power on two wheels. The run settled into a consistent rhythm, holding pace without major fade over the final miles. She crossed the line in 2:03:36, good for 130th among 570 women and 40th in the competitive 30-39 age group. With the bike split proving to be her biggest strength, incorporating more run-specific speed work could help her close the gap even further between transitions in future races.
