North Mankato Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I did like this swim. Only comment would be to add more waves. It was way too crowded. I was doing this as more of a training day so I started towards the back of the group. Had to swim through a lot of people to make decent strokes.

Start towards the front more.

My transition times have gotten much faster than last year. No wetsuit also makes for a much faster T1.

Nothing

I probably pushed on the bike harder than I normally would have on a training ride. Didn't go as hard as I would normally go if competing to my max. Probably for the best, legs died on the run.

Nothing, this was a great ride and a fun course.

Another good transition.

Nada

I'll preface this by saying I didn't expect much from this run. I ran a half marathon last week and did 8 miles yesterday. I knew the run would be difficult, but good lord I didn't think it would hurt this bad. My time was better than I thought it would be considering how dead my legs felt. They had 4 water stops and I walked a full minute through everyone of them.

Taper, but like I said, this was more of a fun tri used as a training day. I knew it would hurt if I tried to push it.

Found my two lovely children screaming "GO DAD" as I came across the line. Got some water and waited for Kelly to cross.


No taper


I really liked this race. They started late because they had a LOT of race day sign-ups. Me included. I will more than likely do this one again. I really enjoyed it and thought it was well run.
