After positively declaring his support for the addition of the 50s of stroke to the Olympic program, World Record holder Adam Peaty has taken a somewhat unusual step in preparing for his potential 4th Olympic Games, by skipping the 2025 World Championships in Singapore and competing in his first Olympic distance triathlon.
Peaty, who won silver in the 100 breaststroke in Paris, was pre-qualified for Great Britain’s World Championships team, but opted not to compete instead focusing on his fitness, mental health and the switch to a coach, as he now is working with Jamie Main at Repton, since Mel Marshall took over the job at Griffith University in Australia at the start of the year. In Peaty’s absence, Max Morgan and Greg Butler took up the breaststroke duties for the Brits, but Peaty was not idly sitting on the coach watching, as he too was preparing for a different race.
This past weekend, Peaty competed in the London T100 Triathlon, where he finished 248th out of 1,625 participants in the Olympic Triathlon in a time of 2:34:37. The Olympic Distance consists of a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-kilometer bike, and 10-kilometer run. Peaty was competing
Peaty, who finished 45th out of 246 in the N30-34 age group, had the 5th fastest swim of all competitors, completing the wet-suit mandatory 1.5k in the Royal Docks in 19:44. For reference, fellow Brit Alex Yee was out in 20.37 enroute to his winning of the Olympic Gold medal in Paris in the Olympic Triathlon.

Peaty, who rarely has competed in the 200 breaststroke, doing so on occasion in short course meters, slipped back into the pack on the bike, posting the 304th fastest 40k with a split of 1:06.25. As evidenced by the video below of the finish, Peaty was dealing with some fatigue on the run, clocking the 886th fastest time with a 56.52.
In the clip above, Peaty can be seen being congratulated by his fiancé, Holly Ramsay, whose father, the famed chef Gordon was also present and is no stranger to endurance races having completed multiple marathons. On his own Instagram page, Peaty who in addition to training for this race has been touring the United Kingdom for his AP Race Clinics, posted about not only what he took away from the race, but what he learned about himself,

Peaty was competing a part of Team Ramsay, which was raising money as part of Gordon’s and his wife, Tana’s, foundation which is a fund within the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
Peaty is not the first Olympic swimming champion to try their hand at triathlons. One of the 1996 Olympic gold medalists in the Women’s 4×200 free relay, Sheila Taormina of the USA, transitioned to triathlons full time, finishing 6th in the event at the Sydney Olympics. Eight years later, she qualified for the Beijing Olympics in the modern pentathlon, becoming the first female athlete to make the Olympics in three different spots.
