Mighty Mississinewa Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swam the first 150 yards great, turned and got into a bad breathing pattern, feet were sinking, really struggled, I never could get back in rythem.

I might have went out too hard, not sure try to stay relaxed

Long transitition, It seems to be a 1/4 mile run to the bike, once in transititon things went smoothly and quickly

nothing

Went out hard on the bike, I was averaging around 23 mph at the 6 mile mark, felt fitgue in the legs from all the running I have done lately, and into the first few hills could tell I wasn't going to be able to pull the bigger gears, stayed strong and was rolling between 21-23 mph for most of the ride, except for some hills where I dropped to 16-18., I only had a couple people pass me, that's one thing nice starting in a later wave, always passing and not getting passed.

Rest a little more before the race, the Ironman training is really wearing me down.

not sure, I guessing about 56 seconds, which was added to the run time. they took your time at the dismount and added as the run. I had a good transition it was fast and smooth

nothing

Ran good, started slow and ran negative splits. first mile could not have been marked right had me at 6:48 there was no way I was running that fast. caught up with 2 guys in my age group at mile 3 stayed with them until about the 3.5 mark picked it up and passed both to finish strong.

maybe go a little harder I think I could have pushed it more I felt strong at the end and could have keep that pass longer. Speed is down because of the long and slow distance training I have been doing.

jog a little, talked with friends and ate some cookies


legs were very tired from the last week of training lots of biking and running and I have be sluggish all week. Did good considering they way I have been preforming in training.


Very good race, I like the course, good volunteers, just a fun event to do
