This is What Impact Looks Like

By Victoria Brumfield

At USA Triathlon, our purpose is simple and powerful: to give everyone a chance to tri.

That purpose guides everything we do, from introducing a child to their first multisport experience, to helping adults discover a lifelong love for triathlon and to supporting athletes who represent the United States on the Olympic and Paralympic stage.

As the U.S. national governing body of the sport, USA Triathlon is a non-profit that exists to serve the entire multisport community. We are committed to growing and strengthening triathlon and other multisport disciplines across the U.S. by creating opportunities and building pathways that welcome people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Our mission — to drive success for multisport from the starting line to lifelong love — comes to life through programs that develop youth and junior athletes, educate and empower coaches and race directors, support clubs and officials, and invest in our athletes chasing their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. Together, these efforts ensure the health of the sport today while laying the foundation for its future.

In 2025, that future came into sharper focus with the launch of Elevate 2028: Focus Forward, USA Triathlon’s refreshed strategic plan leading into the LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Elevate 2028: Focus Forward aligns our energy, innovation, and resources around five strategic pillars that define how we will grow and strengthen multisport nationwide:

• Building a thriving multisport industry by supporting race directors, coaches, and clubs

• Expanding multisport participation by welcom-

ing new athletes and fostering deeper community connections

• Investing in sport development and elite performance by ensuring a strong, sustainable pathway from grassroots participation to Olympic and Paralympic excellence

• Evolving the USA Triathlon brand to better tell the authentic, inspiring stories of our sport

• Achieving operational excellence so our organization is equipped to deliver on our strategic plan with efficiency and long-term sustainability.

Earlier this year, we released our 2025 Impact Report to highlight the progress we made in 2025 toward our strategic priorities.

In this issue of USA Triathlon Magazine, we wanted to again highlight our annual Impact Report. You can read it in full on USA Triathlon's website here.

Inside, you’ll find highlights of the athletes we supported, the programs we expanded, the communities we reached, and the measurable outcomes that demonstrate how purpose turns into impact.

None of this work happens alone. It is made possible by our members, donors, partners, race directors, coaches, clubs, officials, Board and committee members, volunteers, and staff who believe in the power of multisport to change lives.

As we look ahead to LA 2028 and beyond, we recognize that while meaningful progress has been made, there is still important work ahead. We remain focused on building a stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable future for triathlon in the U.S.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us give more people a chance to tri.

FORWARD TOGETHER 2025 IMPACT REPORT

Have Fun This Season!

Whatever you goals are in 2026, good luck and enjoy the ride.

By Stephen Meyers

It's that time of year again — when we celebrate the drive, passion and perseverance that defined the past season.

Congratulations to our 2025 All-Americans! These are the top-ranked athletes in their respective age groups, and their achievements reflect countless early mornings, hard-earned miles and the kind of grit that defines our sport. You'll find the full list inside, and we hope you'll join us in saluting every name on it.

Beyond the All-Americans, this issue takes a deep dive into one of triathlon's most debated topics: nutrition — and more specifically, carb loading. How many carbs do we really need, anyway? Reporter Kelly O'Mara cuts through the noise to investigate what the science actually says, and what it means for your next race-week plate.

We're also thrilled to introduce you to up-andcoming triathlete Sullivan Middaugh. The son of XTERRA legend Josiah Middaugh, Sullivan is chasing his pro triathlon dreams while juggling the demands of earning a college degree. His story is a reminder that the path to the podium rarely runs in a straight line.

On the age group side, we sit down with Dr. Casey Knight — a mother who rediscovered her love for triathlon during the pandemic. At a USA Triathlon Foundation training camp with Olympian Katie Zaferes, Casey committed not only to her passion for the sport but also to giving back through the USA Triathlon Foundation. Her journey is a powerful example of how triath-

lon can reshape a life at any stage.

Speaking of the Foundation, we're proud to spotlight its 2025 Impact Report and the bold $28 million fundraising goal building toward the LA2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games: Elevate28. Learn more about the campaign inside — and how you can get involved today.

And if you're already mapping out your 2026 race calendar, don't miss our guide to the summer slate of USA Triathlon National Championship events. From gravel to long course to sprint and Olympic distance, there's a National Championship with your name on it — and here's the best part: most of these events don't require qualification. This is the summer to toe the line at a National Championship. We'll show you how.

This season, whether you're chasing a faster finish, exploring a new discipline, or inviting a friend to their first start line — there's always another goal, another adventure ahead. Whatever you're reaching for in 2026, enjoy the ride. And share the journey.

See you out there.

Connecting, Learning, Growing at Endurance Exchange

By Stephen Meyers

USA Triathlon hosted its annual Endurance Exchange conference in January in Orlando, bringing together hundreds of endurance sports professionals, coaches, race directors, club leaders, athletes, and industry partners for three days of cutting-edge education, meaningful conversation and community building at the Caribe Royale Orlando.

Since its inception, Endurance Exchange has served as the premier gathering for the multisport community to connect, share best practices, and elevate their impact on athletes and organizations nationwide.

This year’s event, held Jan. 9–11, featured an inspiring lineup of keynote speakers, expert presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities designed to empower participants at every stage of the endurance ecosystem.

"Endurance Exchange was an incredible success, driven by the passion and expertise of our coaches, race directors, and speakers who came together to share best practices and elevate the endurance community," said Justin Trolle, USA Triathlon's Senior Education Manager and USA Triathlon Level III Certified Coach. "The depth of education, collaboration, and real-world takeaways made this a truly impactful weekend for everyone involved."

Olympic Inspiration, Elite Coaching and Performance Science

The conference’s keynote address was delivered by three-time Olympic gold medalist and NBC Olympic broadcaster Rowdy Gaines, who blended lessons in leadership, resilience, and high performance with his storied experiences in elite sport. Gaines’ message of perseverance and purpose resonated as a unifying theme throughout the weekend.

World-renowned elite endurance coach and sports scientist Dan Lorang also headlined the program, leading a panel on "The Coach–Athlete Relationship" alongside U.S. Olympic medalist and IRONMAN 70.3 world champion Taylor Knibb, and USA

Triathlon Project Podium coach Parker Spencer, along with his program's athlete, Reese Vannerson.

Lorang also delivered a session on leading high-performance teams in endurance sports. Lorang’s insights into team culture, collaboration, and athlete development reinforced the value of blending science with human connection in coaching today.

Former professional triathlete Lisa Bentley gave a standout presentation on coaching and leadership, and how coaches can unlock their greatness to empower athletes to problem solve, get out of their comfort zones, find purpose, and bring out the greatness in each other.

"The Coach-Athlete-Relationship" with their respective athletes, Taylor Knibb and Reese Vannerson.

"When we lead with heart and connection, there are no limits to what our teams can accomplish," said Bentley, who also shared her inspiring journey as a professional athlete competing with Cystic Fibrosis.

Education, CEUs and Breakthrough Sessions

Across three days, attendees engaged in an expansive curriculum spanning coaching methodology, training science, performance psychology, race organization management and marketing, and community leadership.

Highlights for coaching education sessions included deep dives into training

adaptations, athlete monitoring, recovery science, and strategies for aging athletes, all grounded in the latest research and practical experience. USA Triathlon Certified Coaches earned 12 continuing education units (CEUs) by attending Endurance Exchange.

Race directors learned via expert-led work sessions and roundtables with fellow race directors to set them up for their most successful season yet. Race director-specific content included medical, safety, and business planning centered around marketing best practices, finding and retaining athletes and how to make your event more sustainable.

USA Triathlon Data and Trends

The final day of the conference capped with industry data and trends, presented in two formats, offering valuable insights into current participation trends, demographic

shifts and industry data to help inform strategic decision-making across clubs, races, and coaching practices.

Produced for the fourth consecutive year by third-party Sponsorship Research International (SRi), the USA Triathlon State of the Sport Survey provides valuable insights on the current state of the multisport industry and USA Triathlon membership. USA Triathlon annual members, including coaches, race directors and club leaders were surveyed to help identify key trends in the endurance sports industry.

Julie Zdziarski of SRi discussed the key trends and findings from the State of the Sport Survey, highlighting key findings that are helpful for race directors and coaches as they plan their business for 2026 and beyond.

Coupled with the State of the Sport, USA Triathlon presented in-depth data and

trends from the organization’s multi-year membership and participation data, driving direct transparency into the behaviors of multisport athletes.

Both presentations together offer a 360view of the sport, allowing those in the industry to make data-driven business decisions aligned to the data and trends.

Community, Collaboration and Connection

Beyond the sessions, Endurance Exchange provided ample space for peer-to-peer networking, idea exchange, and career development.

Attendees said the real value of the event came from the opportunity to connect with fellow leaders, problem-solve common challenges, and build relationships that will shape the future of endurance sport in the U.S.

Be Safe, Avoid a Penalty and Learn These Rules

By Carol Coram

“By the book,” “adhering to the letter of the law,” abiding by the rules.” We’ve all heard these phrases as they pertain to the law and/or sports.

The importance of knowing the law and also the rules of the game have many similarities although their impacts on life are different.

If you break the law, you may be issued a citation, fined or go to jail. Breaking the rules in our sport may end up in you spending some time in the penalty tent or disqualification. You might feel bad at the end of the day but at least you won’t be spending time in court or behind bars!

So, to make life in multisport easier for all of us, let’s keep the playing field fair by doing something you, and only you are responsible for knowing the USA Triathlon Multisport Rules

Race directors via their race websites and officials at prerace briefings or transition area postings familiarize us with the eight most common violations.

Giving these your undivided attention is crucial. Do you want a more seamless race day? Then refer to the USA Triathlon website to learn about the details regarding these rules and those outside of the common eight.

Education is the key because of the multiple disciplines within our sport.

In our world of multisport, knowing the rules is essential if we want to be safe without (as I often say) taking the “f” out of fun.

Knowing the rules will ensure safety, improve your skills, decrease your chances of being assessed penalties and may even end up in shaving some time from your results.

Now that’s something I can wrap my head around.

Happy swimming, biking and running!

8 Most Commonly Violated Rules

1. HELMETS AND CHINSTRAPS : Helmets must be worn and securely fastened at all times while in possession of your bike. This means from the time you remove your bike from the rack at the start of the bike leg, until after you have placed your bike on the rack at the finish of the bike leg.

2. UNAUTHORIZED ASSISTANCE: No assistance other than that offered by race staff (including volunteers), medical officials and active participants may be used. Athletes are not allowed to physically assist the forward progress of another participant on any part of the course.

3. NON-DRAFT LEGAL BIKE POSITION RULES: Ride your bike on the right side of the bike course, only move left to complete a legal pass and you must not block athletes attempting a legal pass. No passing on the right. Drafting off another competitor is not allowed. If you are attempting a pass, be confident in your ability to complete the pass in the allotted amount of time. Once you enter the draft zone of another cyclist, there is only one exit —and that is out the front.

4. COMPLETING THE ENTIRE COURSE: You must complete the race course in its entirety and in order.

5. HEADPHONES AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES: You may carry a phone (such as, mounted on bike handlebars or in an arm band), but may not use communication devices of any type, including but not limited to cell phones, smartwatches, and two-way radios, in any distractive manner during the competition. A “distractive manner” includes but is not limited to making or receiving phone calls, sending or receiving text messages, playing music, using social media, taking photographs or using in a one- or two-way radio communication. Using any communication device in this manner during the competition may result in disqualification.

6. GLASS CONTAINERS: Glass containers are prohibited. Bringing a glass container into transition may result in disqualification.

7. RACE NUMBERS: You are required to wear your race numbers at all times during the run. Numbers must be clearly visible at all times. Numbers may not be altered in any way that prevents clear identification.

8. RACE NUMBER TRANSFERRING: Do not transfer your number to any other athlete or take a number from an athlete that is not competing. The penalty for doing so is Disqualification and one year suspension from membership in USAT for transferring a number without race director permission.

Transitions In Life & Sport

By Kennedy Terry

Transitioning from swim to bike, from bike to run, from one chapter of life to the next. For triathlete and surgeon Dr. Casey Knight, transitions have defined far more than her races.

Originally from Canada and now raising her two children, Chloe (9) and Noah (7), in Boston, Knight has navigated a journey from collegiate club triathlete and pre-medical student, to surgeon, mother, and triathlete.

Two decades after her last race, it was the stillness of the pandemic that drew her back to the multisport community she’d always loved.

Another transition — this time, a return to the sport that shaped her.

From Collegiate Athlete to Surgeon to Mother

Before she was a surgeon and mom, Knight was a collegiate triathlete who had no other worries in the world. She loved the grind, early mornings, and team camaraderie.

“Almost by accident, as I was transitioning out of competitive team sports, I ended up training with the McGill University Tri Team,” said Knight. “I was in the right place at the right time and... the community right from the beginning, and as it continues to be now, was so supportive.”

After graduating from McGill, life shifted.

“I couldn't spend as much time training and racing while I was training for my medical career, so I stayed active with

sports that included running, biking and swimming. However, I was not in a triathlon mindset. I left the sport for over 20 years,” said Knight. “When COVID hit and the world effectively shut down, the open water and open roads were still open. I took advantage of that. I ended up working with a coach who eventually suggested that I was a still triathlete and I needed to put myself put back into the proverbial ring.”

Rediscovering Herself

A year after returning to training, Knight signed up for her first IRONMAN 70.3 race in 2023, “just to see if I could do it.” She completed that race and went on to win her age group at the Boston Triathlon (Olympic dis-

tance) a month later, qualifying her for the 2024 USA Triathlon Nationals in Atlantic City. She also qualified and competed in the 2024 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in New Zealand.

Now she is training for the 2026 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships (in Nice, France), the 2026 USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championship, and Challenge Roth (140.6-mile race in Germany) this summer.

In reflecting on the community aspect of the sport, Knight recalls the day before the 2025 USA Triathlon Sprint and Olympic Distance Nationals in Milwaukee, she found herself in line at the bike tent with an unexpected flat tire due to a broken valve.

“The mechanic told me he didn’t think they could fix my tire in

time for the race,” she said. Then, a woman she’d never met before stepped forward. “She said, ‘I have a spare wheel. Would you like to use it?’ It turned out to be Leslie Battle who offered me her spare without hesitation.”

That selfless act of kindness stayed with Knight.

“I didn't know Leslie before this interaction, but these are the types of people and positive interactions that we need to be showcasing. This sport is about challenging ourselves and being competitive, but it’s also about supporting and raising each other up” Knight said.

The interaction with Battle, who is a longtime triathlete and ambassador in the multisport community, reminded Knight

why she fell in love with the sport in the first place: a sense of camaraderie that goes far beyond competition. These experiences led her to the USA Triathlon Foundation Training Camp, where she met others who shared that same belief in triathlon’s power to unite and uplift.

Inspired by the Foundation

For four days at the Foundation Training Camp, Knight trained like an elite triathlete with fellow age groupers, swimming, biking and running at the United States Performance Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their star coaches included Olympic medalist and mother Katie Zaferes and her husband Tommy Zaferes, fellow former elite triathlete Alicia Kaye, elite running coach Jeff Moreno, and IRONMAN world champion and triathlon legend Mark Allen. Together, the group of athletes trained and learned about various aspects of the sport, while contributing to the Foundation’s mission to support and promote the virtues of triathlon, and to open pathways for all to swim, bike, and run.

After the camp, Knight connected with USA Triathlon Foundation Chief Development Officer, Jason Rizzi, who shared the important work the Foundation is doing to make the sport accessible to all.

“Jason reached out to ask about my experience with the camp, and we found a lot of common ground,” she said. “He shared more about the work the Foundation is doing, their focus on making triathlon a truly inclusive sport, including a focus on women in this sport and I loved that. It resonated with me.”

Through this conversation, Knight saw an organization that wasn’t just talking about inclusion but acting on it.

“You guys are walking the walk,” she told him. “I love seeing online posts celebrating Katie Zaferes as she coaches with her new baby in tow. For many women this kind of support is lacking, and it should not be. Pregnancy, motherhood, perimenopause, menopause... these are all natural, normal life transitions. They’re not illnesses. In some ways, they can

even be superpowers,” Knight said. “Our sport is all about transitions, that’s what we do. We move from one sport to the next. Our lives are like that, too.”

For Knight, the belief that sport can grow with you is exactly what the Foundation stands for. It’s what donors make possible. Every contribution helps more athletes navigate their own transitions: from first timers to comeback stories, from collegiate competitors to parents rediscovering their strength.

“I would like my kids to see that good parents can also be competitive athletes. This can be true throughout many ages and stages of life. There is no better medicine than moving your body.”

When you give to the USA Triathlon Foundation, you have the chance to help more athletes start (or restart) their own journeys. Your support fuels youth programs, creates opportunities for adaptive athletes, and helps Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls chase their dreams.

The USA Triathlon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the charitable arm of USA Triathlon. The Foundation advances the sport’s mission by funding programs that expand access and create opportunity across the multisport community. Focused on three philanthropic priorities, (1) Encouraging Youth Participation (2) Inspiring Pathways to Access and Belonging (3) Igniting Olympic and Paralympic Dreams, the Foundation works to transform lives through sport by providing opportunities to swim, bike, and run. Since its founding in 2014, the Foundation has impacted thousands of lives by investing in individuals and organizations that are building a healthier, more inclusive United States through triathlon.

Balancing School, Training, and an Olympic Dream

By Stephen Meyers

The alarm goes off at 7 a.m. in Tempe, Arizona. Within minutes, Sullivan Middaugh is out the door for a 6-mile run. By 9 a.m., after a quick breakfast, he's in the pool. By the afternoon, he's back on the bike. And somewhere in between — and sometimes late into the evening — he's logged into his online university schooling.

It's a demanding routine, but Middaugh, a budding elite triathlete, wouldn't have it any other way.

Middaugh is a professional triathlete and member of USA Triathlon's Project Podium, an elite development training group funded by the USA Triathlon Foundation that aims to cultivate the next generation of U.S. Olympic talent. He is also closing in on a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences through Arizona State University (also funded by the Foundation). Taken entirely online, one accelerated class at a time, Middaugh is balancing his schoolwork while racing on the world stage and chasing an Olympic dream that is coming into sharper focus with every race.

Finding His Footing

Middaugh's path to elite draft-legal triathlon was forged on trails and mountain bike courses long before it ever reached a World Cup start line. He grew up immersed in the off-road XTERRA triathlon world, following in the footsteps of his father, XTERRA national champion, Josiah Middaugh.

"XTERRA is really my roots, what I grew up with," said Middaugh, who grew up in Colorado's Vail Valley. "I did the trail running series and the mountain bike series. I love it because it takes place in nature."

That foundation eventually led him to Project Podium, which he joined in the summer of 2022. His early development in the program followed a deliberate progression: Year 1 was spent in the junior series, learning the rhythms and demands of draft-legal racing. From there, he graduated to Continental Cup events, where he steadily built his competitive footing.

"When I was first learning draft-legal triathlon, I took every race as a learning experience, which made it pretty fun," he said. "I knew going in that in triathlon, Plan A almost never happens.

My approach has been to take every experience, learn from it, and race better the next time."

Last year marked a turning point. Middaugh began competing at the World Cup level, the tier just below World Triathlon Championship Series events. The jump was significant. The swims are brutal, the bike packs stronger, the runs faster. The field, he noted, is deep with athletes who are elite across all three disciplines. But he rose to meet the challenge, notching strong enough results to climb to 56th in the world rankings.

Earning a Degree — One Race at a Time

Middaugh is pursuing his degree through ASU's online program, taking accelerated 7.5-week courses rather than traditional full-semester classes. Instead of juggling multiple subjects at once, he focuses on one three-credit course per session and adds two summer sessions to compensate for the lighter regular-year load.

It's a strategy born of necessity. With travel, training camps, and competitions spread across multiple continents and time zones, a traditional academic calendar simply doesn't work.

"Traveling adds complexity, so I really have to plan ahead," he said. "Setting deadlines, checking what's due, getting work done ahead of time before leaving, downloading materials beforehand, working on the plane. Time zone changes add another layer of difficulty."

Rather than treating travel days as academic dead zones, Middaugh has learned to mine them for productivity. With training volumes typically reduced during race weeks, free moments accumulate.

The patience and consistency of that approach are now paying off. With only about 10 credits remaining, Middaugh expects to complete his bachelor's degree this summer.

His academic interests go beyond the diploma itself. He is particularly drawn to sports science, a field that sits at the intersection of his athletic life and his intellectual curiosity, and one that could shape whatever path comes after competition.

Brothers in Arms

One of the more unexpected developments of Middaugh's time in Project Podium has been the arrival of his brother, Porter Middaugh, who recently joined the team and committed to studying biological sciences, mirroring Sullivan's own academic direction in a way that has made the journey feel a little less solitary.

"I think it's awesome," Sullivan said of having his brother on the team. "We grew up always doing activities together. It became really cool to have Porter on the team too."

Their academic journeys have also intersected in some memorable ways. During a training camp in Girona, Spain, the brothers happened to be taking physics at the same time. They didn't study particularly well together, Sullivan admits with a laugh, but the shared experience created its own kind of camaraderie.

More recently, while Porter was working through chemistry, the two would talk through lectures on easy runs. Porter even had to purchase at-home lab kits and set up experiments in his kitchen.

"I thought that was pretty cool," Sullivan said.

XTERRA and the Road to the Olympics

Even as he climbs the draft-legal rankings, Middaugh has not abandoned the off-road discipline that shaped him. XTERRA, he says, complements the Olympic-format side of his racing in ways that aren't always obvious from the outside.

"Draft-legal triathlon and XTERRA actually complement each other," he said. "XTERRA helps with bike handling skills, and the draft-legal format benefits the swim. It's been fun and new and challenging for me in that way."

XTERRA Worlds is returning to the U.S. this year, in New Mexico, a development Middaugh described with obvious enthusiasm. There is also a North American Championship in Alabama. While draft-legal racing remains his primary focus, the off-road calendar holds a special place in his heart, as he has shared many off-road miles with his father.

That relationship with his father remains an important thread

in Sullivan's development. The two speak three to four times a week, and their conversations are not always about training.

"Growing up, that kind of regular communication was just normal for us. He was never pressuring me to go down a specific path," Middaugh said. "It's been fun to follow in his footsteps."

The Olympic Horizon

When Middaugh arrived at Project Podium in 2022, the LA 2028 Olympics were a concept more than a target. The realistic ambition, as he understood it then, pointed toward 2032.

But last year changed the calculus.

"After last year, when I made some bigger jumps and had some strong results, I began to see an outside shot at LA 2028," he said.

Still, significant work remains. The swim, he acknowledges, is the area demanding the most attention. Despite a background in summer swim team competition growing up, the races were short, no more than 100 meters, sometimes just 50, and the gap to the lead pack at the World Cup level can stretch to 30 seconds or more.

"I've made a lot of progress since joining the program," he said, "but a lot of my focus right now is on closing that gap."

This summer, if all goes according to plan, Middaugh will cross two finish lines. One will be a race somewhere on the international circuit.

The other will be the completion of his degree — a quiet personal milestone that reflects the same qualities that have driven his athletic rise: patience, structure, and the willingness to keep showing up.

For now, though, the alarm will keep going off at 7 a.m. The miles will keep accumulating.

And somewhere between the morning run and the evening's last paragraph of coursework, Middaugh will keep doing the quiet, daily work of building something extraordinary.

A Day in the Life

Inside the structured world of Project Podium, Sullivan Middaugh's days follow a reliable rhythm, balancing training and schoolwork.

A typical day looks like this:

• 7 a.m. — 6-mile run

• 9:a.m. — Swim session (with breakfast in between)

• Noon to 3 p.m. — Eat, recover, schoolwork

• 3-4 p.m. — Bike ride

Introducing Elevate28: the Foundation's Bold Goal to Raise $28 Million

A $1 million gift from longtime athletes and USA Triathlon Foundation donors

Michael and Audra Mallow supported the launch of the Foundation's Elevate28 campaign, a bold initiative to raise $28 million through 2029 to elevate the sport of triathlon nationwide in the lead-up to and following the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games.

What is Elevate28?

Elevate28 is a transformative campaign designed to strengthen the entire triathlon pipeline in the lead-up to the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, investing in youth participation, adaptive and development opportunities, and elite performance.

The campaign marks a pivotal moment

for the sport, with the Olympic Games returning to the U.S. for the first time in more than 30 years.

Triathlon kicks off the LA28 Olympic Games as the first medal event, with the women’s individual triathlon scheduled for July 15, 2028, at the iconic Venice Beach.

“Elevate28 is more than a fundraising effort," said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO.

"It is a movement to elevate the entire triathlon community by preparing our athletes for success at the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond, inspiring future generations, and ensuring triathlon becomes one of the most accessible, inclusive, and thriving sports.”

All-in Commitment

Longtime Foundation donors, the Mallows are deeply involved in the local triathlon community in Los Angeles and bring a long list of racing accomplishments, including multiple IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 finishes. Together, their passion for racing and philanthropy has made a lasting impact on the sport.

The Mallows' gift to help launch the Elevate28 Campaign is transformational. Their contribution provides immediate momentum for Elevate28 and sets the tone for the impact the campaign aims to achieve over the next four years.

Jason Rizzi, Chief Development Officer at the USA Triathlon Foundation, expressed the importance of this gift.

"Launching Elevate28 with this level of leadership support sends a powerful message: that triathlon’s future is worth believing in, and worth investing in, together,” Rizzi said.

“Triathlon and our triathlon community have been a huge part of our lives for many years, and we’re thrilled and honored to lead the USA Triathlon Foundation's ambitious and critical Elevate28 fundraising campaign,” said Audra and Michael Mallow. "We encourage the multisport community to join us in supporting the athletes, programs and communities that make this sport so special by investing in the USA Triathlon Foundation."

"Gwen has long been an inspiration in our sport, not only for her Olympic gold medal and incredible sustained success at the highest level of competition, but also for her dedication to growing triathlon and giving back to the next generation by partnering with the USA Triathlon Foundation. We are proud to continue this partnership and look forward to seeing the impact it will have on young athletes across the country,” said Jason Rizzi, USA Triathlon Foundation Chief Development Officer.

“Thank you to Canyon Bicycles for providing race bikes and supporting this initiative. The expansion of the Gwen Jorgensen Scholarship Fund to include Canyon race bikes reflects exactly the kind of bold, meaningful investment that changes lives.”

Youth Triathletes Shine at USA Kids Tri Arizona

By Kennedy Terry

The USA Kids Tri Arizona race, presented by the TriDave Legacy Trust and hosted in partnership with RipRoar on April 12, delivered an unforgettable day of youth sport, welcoming 242 young athletes for a high-energy celebration of triathlon.

From start to finish, the course in Scottsdale, Arizona, was filled with excitement, encouragement, and determination as kids ages 5-17 challenged themselves and experienced the thrill of triathlon.

Families, volunteers, and spectators played a big role in creating an uplifting race-day environment, cheering every

athlete across the finish line and helping turn effort into lasting confidence and joy.

The USA Kids Tri Arizona event showcased the strong and growing momentum for grassroots youth multisport engagement across the region, with participation nearly doubling since 2024.

This impact is made possible through the USA Triathlon Foundation and generous support from the TriDave Legacy Trust, which directly funds the USA Kids Tri Arizona program. This program provides Phoenix-area youth the opportunity to get involved with triathlon through introductory swim, bike and run clinics and programs, school and community center outreach, access to USA Triathlon Certified Coaches and entry to events.

Dave Alexander, founder of the TriDave Legacy Trust, has championed innovative

programs to introduce youth and young adults to the sport in addition to USA Kids Tri Arizona, including the Scouting America Multisport Merit Badge and a gift to support the NCAA Women’s Triathlon Emerging Sport for Women initiative.

“Events like USA Kids Tri Arizona are a powerful reminder of what youth sport can be—fun, inclusive, and confidence-building from the very first start line,” said USA Triathlon Youth Events Pipeline Manager, Zoe Da Silva. “Through USA Triathlon’s youth initiatives, we’re working to expand access and create meaningful entry points into the sport, and that impact is only possible thanks to the incredible support of partners like TriDave.”

Among the 242 youth athletes who competed at USA Kids Tri Arizona included 11-year-old Peyton and 8-year-old Brooklyn, the daughters of 2024 Paralympic gold medalist and IRONMAN 70.3 triathlete Chris Hammer, who lives and trains in the Phoenix area.

“My favorite part of seeing them do a triathlon is how accomplished they feel afterwards,” said Hammer. “Triathlon is such a great sport because it challenges you in so many different ways. Kids need to learn to attack challenges head on, not being intimidated by them. I can’t think of a better sport than triathlon to teach them that.”

Peyton said she likes triathlon, “because it’s hard!”

Thanks to USA Kids Tri and the USA Triathlon Foundation, athletes like Peyton and Brooklyn participated in the sport of triathlon in a fun, safe, approachable environment.

For those inspired to get involved in youth triathlon, opportunities continue to expand nationwide through programs like the Splash & Dash Series and the Youth State Series, which provide racing experiences for kids ages 5-17.

HOW MANY CARBS DO YOU * REALLY * NEED?

BY KELLY O’MARA

The headlines would have you believe that pro athletes these days are downing entire multi-course meals in the middle of races — and going faster because of it. Stories are coming out of Tour de France riders, record-breaking ultra runners, and the world champion triathletes cramming down 90 grams, 100, 120 (!) grams of carbohydrates per hour.

WHERE DID THIS CARB CRAZE COME FROM?

“Athletes are finally on the carb train,” said Alex Larson, a registered dietician who works with triathletes and cyclists. More and more research in recent years has added to the body of knowledge supporting the need for carbs in longer duration exercise, she said.

But what’s also changed is our understanding of how many carbs it is possible to consume. While it’s long been known that athletes need 30-60 grams/ hour of carbs for workouts or races over two hours, it was believed eating more than that caused too much GI distress. If you ended up spending all that extra time in the port-a-potty, it wasn’t going to help your performance!

Now, though, there’s been research showing the GI distress can be somewhat mitigated by a mix of glucose and fructose carb sources to help with digestibility. (Try a 1:0.8 glucose to fructose ratio to start.) The nutrition product availability has also expanded, making it easier to find the right mix that will let you get down more and more and more calories.

So, should you be taking in as many carbs as possible mid-race? How much do you really need for a triathlon? And how do you get to that point without causing more, uh, GI problems than you solve?

IS MORE ALWAYS BETTER?

While the exact amount of time before you run out of stored energy varies by person, your liver and muscle stores can provide about 400-600 grams of glycogen, which is about 90 minutes to two hours of energy at a race effort.

During that endurance exercise, after you run out of stored energy, fat oxidation then can’t keep up with energy demand. That’s why you need to supplement with carbohydrates — which helps maintain blood glucose, delay fatigue, improve your mental clarity and decision-making, and keep you from bonking.

Matt Pahnke, a senior principal scientist with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, said that they recommend taking in about 60 grams per hour — though other guidelines would suggest consuming in the 30-60g range for exercise that’s one to two hours.

It’s once you get over that two-and-ahalf or three-hour mark that some athletes and some research is starting to recommend 60-90g/hour.

And once you’re into races that are longer than three or four hours is when we’re beginning to see the huge 90-120g/hour numbers.

Over 60g/hour is what was historically considered the limit. Now, research has been looking at gut tolerance for 90g/hour.

“You oxidize it to a point, then it just sits there in your gut,” said Pahnke.

So, assuming you could train your gut to tolerate more grams of carbs, should you just eat as much as you possibly can short of GI problems?

Maybe.

This is where experts are mixed. “If you can tolerate it, it doesn’t mean you should,” said Pahnke — noting that the

majority of recent research has simply been on whether that amount can be tolerated without adverse GI effects; the performance benefits are more anecdotal. Most analysis has been mixed, to date, over whether there’s a concrete performance benefit for all athletes at 60g/hour v. 90g v. more. It’s also worth noting that the biggest anecdotal impacts have come from daylong or multi-day events — whether cycling or ultrarunning — where the duration and energy expenditure is magnitudes larger than a half-Ironman or marathon, for example. And in multi-day stage races recovery also comes into play.

One recent study measured how many grams a group of athletes oxidized during a cycling time trial and then fed them only the amount they were each individually able to utilize. While the

average recommendation was 60-66g/ hour, almost half the athletes did best with less than that and more than a third did best with more than that. The key was personalization.

“Nutrition is not black and white,” said Larson. “The guidelines are guidelines, not rules.”

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

The amount of energy you use: While carb recommendations aren’t based on body size, it is true that smaller athletes tend to put out less power for the same performance simply as a product of size (not ability!). That means, in turn, bigger athletes often burn more calories.

Metabolic rate also plays a huge role. Some athletes burn more calories than others. How much energy you use is

also a product of the effort you’re putting out. If you’re going all-out, then you’ll likely need more to fuel that effort — but, at a max effort, it can be hard to get calories down.

The sport: Running is typically the hardest on the gut. Our heart rates are often higher than biking and the jostling motion of the run can cause stomach distress. Plus, in triathlon, you’re hitting the run at the hottest time of day and after you’ve already swum and biked, which can mean your gut might not be getting as much blood flow in the heat, and you may already be dealing with the buildup of dehydration or nutritional deficits.

It’s easier to eat a lot while biking, both practically and physically. You can also carry more from a logistical perspective. “The bike is a buffet,” said Larson — and many will treat it as such.

USATRI

The weather: In the heat, we burn glycogen a little faster — which makes fueling important — but heat also reduces the oxidation of ingested carbohydrates, meaning your ability to use those calories is reduced in the heat and they sit there in your gut more. Dehydration can also be an issue in the heat, which can slow down your digestive process, but there’s a limit to how much fluid your stomach can tolerate, too.

You can see why hot races are so difficult to manage for so many triathletes. It’s simply complicated to balance all the different factors. The best strategy is to go in with max glycogen stores and to make sure you stay on top of your hydration, sodium intake, and fueling, so you don’t create a deficit that you can’t make up.

And don’t forget, the inverse can also be true: In the cold, sometimes we forget to eat and don’t realize we’re burning extra energy if we get too cold.

WHAT IS GUT TRAINING?

The big caveat, though, should be that none of this carb-maximizing can be done without training your gut to tolerate an increase in calories. Unfortunately, that’s also as much an art as a science.

“There’s still no official protocol for training your gut,” said Larson. And if you’ve ever felt nauseous while your ride buddy is downing random foods from the gas station, then you know that some people have stomachs of steel and some people just don’t.

Figuring out what’s the optimal amount for you doesn’t require a lab — though that’d be nice, wouldn’t it? — but it does require keeping track.

You can do a simple sweat test at home, using a scale for a weight (while naked) before and after a 60- to 90-minute workout. And then you also start working on your nutrition.

Figure out where you’re at right now: How many carbs, calories, sodium, and hydration you’re taking in. Look at the race you’re aiming for: Are there any

specific issues you need to consider (ie. the weather, or if the terrain will make it difficult to take in food at certain points) and what amount do you want to be consuming by race day.

Then you have to “slowly increase over time,” said Pahnke from where you’re at to where you want to be. Larson recommends adding about 5-10g/ hour per week for your workouts, then sit at a point for a few weeks until it feels comfortable before you increase again. (And don’t forget you also need to practice this as race effort.)

“It is taxing to keep up with all of that, but when you fuel enough you feel better in your workouts,” she said. You’ll be amazed what feels easier, less draining, more fun, and how you won’t be completely destroyed the rest of the day.

OTHER FUELING FADS

Hydrogels: Popularized by Maurten, a hydrogel is a regular carbohydrate drink but with with pectin and sodium alginate added. When this hits the high acidity of the stomach it forms a gel-like mixture, which passes faster through the stomach and into the intestine (called “gastric emptying”). The idea is this makes it possible to consume more carbs without GI distress because they’re absorbed faster.

Baking soda: Also known as “sodium bicarbonate,” there’s been evidence since the ‘80s that baking soda helps boost performance. However, it is also famously known to cause explosive diarrhea, crippling cramps, and other side effects that would be detrimental to performance.

But, in recent years — again popularized by Maurten’s “bicarb system” — athletes have found ways to utilize baking sodium in hydrogel or pill form without too many of the terrible side effects.

Lake Placid Hosts Winter Nationals

USA Triathlon kicked off the 2026 National Championships season on Feb. 6 at the USA Triathlon Winter National Championships in Lake Placid, New York, in the heart of the Adirondacks, at the Empire State Winter Games.

Athletes at the USA Triathlon Winter National Championships put their conditioning — and cold-weather grit — to the test as they ran, biked, and cross-country skied through a stunning snow-covered multisport course on several of the same trails that hosted the FIS Cross Country World Cup Finals in March.

In addition to racing for national titles in the Winter Triathlon and Winter Duathlon National Championships, athletes also raced to qualify for the 2027 World Triathlon Winter Championships.

Stephen Eles of Boulder, Colorado, won the overall men’s national titles in the Winter Triathlon National Championships and Winter Duathlon National Championships.

The women’s competition also saw a dual winner, with Ginger Reiner (pictured above) of Lincoln, Massachusetts, winning

the women’s titles in both events.

She won the Winter Triathlon National Championships, completing the 5-kilometer run, 8k fat bike and 10k cross-country ski in a time of 1 hour, 24 minutes, 52 seconds.

She then returned in the afternoon to win the Winter Duathlon National Championships (5k run, 10k cross-country ski) in a time of 58:59.

Eles won the Winter Triathlon National Championships with a time of 1:10:48 and the Duathlon National Championships in 49:16.

Both Eles and Reiner are members of triathlon clubs — Rogue Tri for Eles and Team Psycho for Reiner. Reiner’s advice for triathletes interested in trying winter triathlon for the first time?

“Find people to do it with. I have friends that I run with, bike with and ski with and it holds you accountable and makes it more fun,” she said.

Athletes Race Cross Nationals in Austin

Triathletes from across the U.S. took on the mountain biking and trail-running trails in Austin, Texas, on April 18 at the 2026 USA Triathlon Cross National Championships, hosted in partnership with Race Revolutions.

The event took place within Pace Bend Park where athletes swam in Lake Travis, followed by a mountain bike and trail run within the park.

Races included the Cross Triathlon National Championship (1500-meter swim, 29-kilometer mountain bike, 10k run), Cross Duathlon National Championship (5k run, 29k mountain bike, 10k run), Cross Triathlon Sprint National Championship (750m swim, 12k mountain bike, 5k run) and the Cross Duathlon Sprint National Championship (2.5k run, 12k mountain bike, 5k run).

“The bike leg was super technical, fast and fun,” said Saxby Stradinger (Oklahoma City, Okla.), who won the men's Cross

Duathlon Sprint National Championship overall title.

Jennifer Schmidt (Anchorage, Alaska) won the women's Cross Triathlon National Championship overall title and was impressed by the area's trails.

“The bike course [was the most interesting]. We don't have trails like that in Alaska, so it was a very different bike course to do. Mentally it was very engaging,” she said.

Monica Doval (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), the women's Cross Duathlon Sprint National Championship national champion enjoyed her first visit to Austin.

“This was my first time in Austin and I loved it,” said Doval. “Great people, great course, and if they host the off-road [National Championship] again, they will have me again!”

Gold for Hermes in Para Cup, 5th For Spivey at Samarkand

U.S. elite triathletes and paratriathletes kicked off the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Series season April 25 and April 26 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

U.S. elite paratriathlete McClain Hermes (Dacula, Ga.), with her guide Julia Day (Nashville, Tenn.), won gold in the World Triathlon Para Cup Samarkand. A Paralympic swimmer, Hermes showed what an exciting prospect she is for the next two years heading to the LA 2028 Paralympic Games. She swam to the front of the pack early and led from there, taking the wireto-wire win.

In the World Triathlon Championship Series Samarkand race, U.S. Triathlon National Team member Taylor Spivey (Redondo Beach, Calif.) led the way with a fifth-place finish.

Spivey, who finished the 2025 World Triathlon Championship Series season fourth in the overall standings, started her 2026 campaign strong, turning in a trademark consistent performance in Samarkand.

She was in the lead group across the 1,500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike, and 10k run portions of the race and placed fifth with a time of 1 hour, 54 minutes, 53 seconds in the Olympic distance triathlon.

Great Britain’s Beth Potter won the race with a time of 1:53:17.

France’s Leonie Periault (FRA) took second in 1:53:26 and Jeanne Lehair of Luxembourg placed third in 1:54:20.

Spivey was among the leaders in the wetsuit swim and in the lead pack on the bike that included U.S. teammate Kirsten Kasper (North Andover, Mass.), Potter, Periault, Lehair, Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR), Laura Lindemann (GER), Tanja Neubert (GER) and Sian Rainsley (GBR).

Taylor-Brown led a breakaway on the final lap of the bike, opening up a 34-second gap heading into transition. Potter, Periault and Lehair all reeled in Taylor-Brown on the run to land on the podium.

Spivey’s teammate Erika Ackerlund was the next best U.S. athlete, placing 17th. Kasper placed 19th, Gwen Jorgensen (Boulder, Colo.) 24th and Danielle Orie (Orchard Park, N.Y.) 30th.

Seth Rider (Germantown, Tenn.) led the U.S. in the men’s race, placing 27th with a time of 1:46:44.

Portugal’s Vasco Vilaca won his first career WTCS race, taking the win in a sprint finish with Germany’s Henry Graf.

Next up in the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Series is WTCS Yokohama on May 16, the final event before the LA28 Olympic qualification period begins on May 18.

Celebrating the 2025 All-Americans

Here’s what you need to know about USA Triathlon's National Rankings, one of the best benefits of being a USA Triathlon Annual Member.

Each year, if you race three or more USA Triathlon Sanctioned triathlons (or two for all other types of multisport disciplines, including duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike and off-road) then you are included in USA Triathlon’s national rankings.

The rankings allow you to see where you rank among your fellow age group competitors.

Looking for a new goal? Try to beat your ranking from the year before. Moving up to a new age group? See how you stack up! Place in the top 10% of your age group and you’ll earn USA Triathlon All-American honors, which are listed in this

section of the magazine! That’s the beauty of the sport— no matter your experience or speed, there are always more goals to chase.

HOW DOES MY RANKING GET CALCULATED? Each athlete’s ranking is based on an average of your top race scores (3 triathlons or two of any other multisport discipline). Race scores are determined by pacesetters who set the par time for the race. Your score is determined by how you do compared to that par time.

WHAT ARE PACESETTERS? Anyone who has raced the minimum number of required races in the previous year can be a pacesetter for the next year.

HOW DO PACESETTERS SET PAR TIME? Math — it's all about the math. The simple explanation: A pacesetter’s race time is multiplied against their national ranking score from the previous year (divided by 100) to determine their pacesetter time value. Then all the pacesetter time values are ordered and the top and bottom 20% get dropped. The middle 60% are averaged to create the par time of the race.

HOW MANY PACESETTERS ARE THERE? Each race is unique! Pacesetters could be a low as 1 and as high as 1,000-plus. It all depends on who is racing.

HOW DO I GET A SCORE FOR MY RACE? Everyone’s score for the race is determined by the par time. Example: John finishes a race with a time of 90 minutes. If the par time of John’s race is 80 minutes, and he finished in 90 minutes, his score would be 88.88 (80 / 90 = .88888 * 100 = 88.888).

Now that you know how your score is determined in each race, it is important to know a few other things:

• For triathlon rankings, your top three scores are averaged to create your final ranking.

• For duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike or off-road triathlon rankings, your top two scores are averaged for your final ranking.

• To be included in the final rankings, you must be a USA Triathlon annual member on Dec. 1 of that year. So, for 2025 rankings, the membership deadline was Dec. 31, 2025.

• The deadline to report corrections to USA Triathlon is Jan. 31 of the following year.

Check Your Ranking Online

Each year, USA Triathlon All-Americans are featured in the spring issue of USA Triathlon Magazine. These are the athletes who finished the year ranked in the top 10% of their age group.

The 2025 All-Americans are listed in alphabetical order, sorted by sport and gender, on the following pages. In addition, the No. 1 ranked ahletes in each age group and sport are recognized.

Better Than Ever to Be a Triathlon Fan?

Here are just a few of the places you can watch live triathlon races these days: HBO Max, Eurosport, Outside Watch, TriathlonLive, Youtube, DAZN, and more I’m sure I’m forgetting.

Sure, some of the time it’s hard to remember which race that you want to see is being broadcast where — OK, a lot of the time — but you know when it was easy to remember where you could watch triathlon live? When the answer was “nowhere”!

For a long time, for a lot of us, the main (and only) place to see people swim, bike, and run on TV was in the annual NBC Kona documentary special that aired months after the race. Yes, as diehard tri fans, we already knew how it turned out and who won, but wasn’t it exciting to see our sport get this kind of rare attention.

After Julie Moss crawled across national TV screens in 1982 and became a bonafide celebrity in popular imagination, ABC’s Wide World of Sports knew they had a hit on their hands. And interest in signing up for Ironman skyrocketed.

But actually airing these things regularly? Broadcasting hours and hours of people exercising in remote locations? That’d be a little bit crazy, right? How would that even work?

By Kelly O'Mara

It’s easy to criticize the coverage of races now. And, oh boy, do triathlon fans criticize — and, sometimes, fairly.

It’d be better if there were more stats on screen, more graphics. If there were more cameras up-close and drone shots. If the commentators had more info they could reference about what was happening out on course.

It’s easy to complain, but it’s hard to understand how much work goes into bringing our sport to us live.

For the last few years, money’s been pouring into professional triathlon: the PTO’s T100 series of 100km top tier events, Supertri’s short and fast team racing, the IRONMAN Pro Series welcoming all to declare a season long-course champion, and increased support for Challenge races and World Triathlon. And we’ve all benefited.

With the increase in funding and the advent of so many new media platforms has come an increase in our options for how to be a fan.

We can sit on our couch now and watch a race on the other side of the world, texting friends about who might win or who does not look so good. We can argue in online forums and Instagram comments — and aren’t there so many Instagram accounts now?

We can read all the play-by-play after

or during or just get the social media highlights. We don’t have to wait for the Olympics to see triathletes on our screens.

We don’t even have to wait for someone else to tell us these athletes’ stories; they can just tell us themselves on their own Youtube channels.

You can be a fan however you want to be a fan now. For better and worse.

Not all the new pro races and series will survive. The Bud Light Triathlon Series didn’t survive either. But while it was around it helped drive the boom in interest in triathlon; it made the athletes stars, or at least moderately compensated professionals. One has to hope that all these new places where triathlon can be watched are also bringing in new people to watch triathlon.

We don’t know what moment is going to be the next Julie Moss crawling down Ali’i, the next moment that will make a new generation of triathlon fans. Maybe it’ll come from Taylor Knibb or Sam Long, maybe it’ll be someone you don’t even know yet. But when it does come, let’s hope a camera is pointed at them and we’re watching live.
