Pleasant Prairie Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Pretty good improvement for me, swimming has been a bit of struggle and that is one reason why I have not reached for the olympic distance, I get more comfortable each time and training in the big lake has really helped.

Try and push a little harder. I don't think I went all out, but still improved time from last year, swam the entire distance without any stops, and improved my time compared to similar distance in Lake in the Hills race

Thought it would be faster, but oh well.

Not much to say. A pretty good ride, good time and high ranking. Discovered at the start that my aero bottle was not properly secured and that made it a little hard to get liquid while riding.

Not bad

Try dismounting bike in bare feet and leave shoes in pedals.

Not too bad, not too great. Really felt the effects to two races in seven days. I was hurting a little and did not feel like I had much extra kick, so I maintained the fastest and steadiest pace I could tolerate.

Light stretching and a little food and water.


Two races in seven days hurt the run performance. Otherwise, I felt pretty good about it.


It is a good race, though I have a couple of complaints. First, they need a larger transition area. It is way too crowded for the number of athletes.

Second, I wish they would keep transition open longer before the race starts. It is difficult to get there early enough for adequate set up time, when you have to shuttle in from a remote parking lot.

Did not stay for much of the post-race stuff so I can't comment.

Also, because of the parking situation most people have to ride their bike back to the remote parking lot while carrying a heavy duffel bag. It is kind of dangerous and I don't think the race organizers spend too much time worrying about that.
