Littlefoot Sprint Triathlon 2026

Another Littlefoot Triathlon in the books.

Men 146/157

Official Chip Times:

Swim: 21:37
T1: 3:00
Bike: 44:18
T2: 2:44
Run: 43:36

2022 Time: 1:49:06 (overcast and drizzling)
2023 Time: 1:38:42 (choppy swim)
2024 Time: 1:43:34 (good weather)
2026 Time: 1:55:16 (good weather)

My weight is the same as 2024, however the result was worse.

Swim - 0:22 slower
T1 - 0:41 slower
Bike - 4:00 slower
T2 - 0:24 slower
Run - 6:37 slower

I felt good on the swim and on the bike.  The course conditions were amazing.  However, when I look at my training volumes I am well behind on my bike/run mileage.  2024 delivered 250 miles of biking and 200 miles of running.  In 2026, I have only logged 200 miles of biking and 100 miles of running.  Swim mileage was on the order of 15 miles both years.

Aside from training more, I would not have changed anything.  I should have practiced wearing my tri kit under my wetsuit.  I might consider not wearing gloves.
