The swim was cancelled due to severe weather watch. Race organizers decided to do 2.3 run around Lake Andrea instead.

It was my fastest short distance run on triathlon races.

The gear was all wet after a storm passing by.

Prepare large plastic piece of foil to protect my gear from rain.

I took it easy on turns and passing. The roads were wet after rainfall.

Not bad as for adjusting for the weather.

Considering that the gear was wet - not bad at all.

Nothing.

Hot (90 F) and humid again. I do not tolerate such conditions well. My heart rate was too high, so I decided to run Galloway 30/60 to keep heart rate no more than 95% of maximum. In addition, there were not enough water stations on the course and some of them run out of cups. No Gattorade available!

Nothing - no control over the weather. I have to wait for another race to improve my PR as this was one of my goals on this race.

Some stretching.


Hot weather.


This is my forth Pleasant Prairie race and I am disappointed with it. Although, there was nothing we could do about the weather, race organizers surely could do a much better job with setting up more add stations with sport drinks (not only water), especially on the 10K run. Food and post race activities very poor.
