Muncie May Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOlympic

Swim was two laps and you had to run on the beach between laps. At the start of lap one my goggles where leaking like crazy. I stopped about 4-6 times to clear them out. After lap one while running on the beach I took my goggles off to try to adjust them. They did not leak on lap two but in the process I kicked a big rock on the beach and my big toe is now soar and black and blue. I also noticed after lap one my watch got water in it and it did not work the entire race.



Learn to swim.

This was like a 1/4 mile run up to T2. I never seen one near this long before.

WFT, Where did my bike go? Coming into T1 I went to my bike and I thought someone took it. After looking more I seen it has been moved from the end spot to the far end of the rack. My stuff was all mixed in with two other peoples stuff.

Nice course other then some rough sections. I had no HR monitor to gauge my effort off of like I am used to so I tried to pace a little on the easy side of effort.

Legs felt tired and soar on the run. But no worse then other times. Energy level was high. So I started at a comfortable pace to get the HR under control. I was just looking for my buddy Austin and Matt to see how close they where behind me coming in of off the bike. Looked like Austin was about 1/2 mile behind me. Since my watch was dead I had no idea how fast I was running. I was going to see how long I could hold him off since he is a much faster runner then me. After seeing him come in on the bike I took a quick pee break. After making the turn around I seen him about 1/2 mile later. So he has made up very little ground on me. I then knew he was coming after me as he said I better speed up or something like that. I then started to push harder up the hills and upping my cadence on the downhills. Legs are still feeling about the same. I take a quick look back about every mile to see how close he is I still cant see him coming. I finished stronger then most other Olympic runs in the past.

Conditioning


One of the main reasons I wanted to do this race is this is the location of the Muncie 70.3. I am still in debate if I can be ready for this race or not.
