Reports and event feedback

Erica Hawley and Nicholas Pilgrim assess Gulfport 2026 ↗
Erica Hawley; Nicholas Pilgrim, interviewed by Mehluli Sibanda · 2026
Hawley enjoyed returning to short-course racing and described a flat, fast bike course, while criticizing uneven compliance with the swim-start rope. Pilgrim felt good in the chase pack but found cooperation limited; he liked his run performance and believed the run was longer than advertised.
