Steady Bike Power Anchors a Solid Olympic-Distance Finish Zac Wright completed the 2026 Spudman Olympic Triathlon in 2:42:50, placing 204th overall out of 1,987 and 19th in the competitive 40-44 age group. His bike leg stood out as the highlight of the race, averaging just over 19 mph and moving him up significantly in the overall standings by the time he reached T2. That strength carried into a steady run, where his pacing stayed consistent through the final miles, holding position among his peers to the finish line. Compared to his previous Spudman appearances2:30:00 in 2022 and a personal best 2:27:23 in 2023this years result marks a step back in overall time. Given his continued strong cycling performance, focusing on swim and run efficiency could help Zac close that gap and work toward matching or exceeding his 2023 pace in future races.
