Ultramax Kansas 50 - Triathlon

Good time for me but may have used too much legs as Later in teh race my energy was zapped for the run

need to get the free style consisent to drop my breast stroke

felt good

Wind was a factor. The last 7 miles of each loop was right into a 15-25mpw head wind. In addition leading up to this last stretch consisted of a on again off again climb.

sucked alot of energy from my legs.

I need aerobars first off. Second I just need to get a better push on hill training for this distance. I was shot which affected the remainder of the race.

long stop and not sure where to head out. course was not marked the best

Heat humidity took their toll on me. I could barley run more than a half mile at a time.

not sure??? I think the bike legg is what wrecked me here so I think that is where I need to focus. Ususally never have this type of problem in the run.

Thank god I finished. Run to the fire house and soak for awhile. sat around and tried to let me feet take a break.


HEAT AND HUMIDITY. 50 or so people stopped or had to have help off the course. There just was no cover from the sun. this just made it tough to keep the body cool.

So I am not sure there is any thing I could have done other than bike faster/smoother.


love the race and distance but only one drink station on a 20 mile loop seem light to me and others. no pre-race meeting to explain the transition entry and exits at all. I will consider this agan next year and hope to be better prepared.
