Manitou Sprint Triathlon
Distance: .5 Mile Swim, 13.5 Mile Bike, 5K Run
Results:
8th in the 30 - 34 Age Group
10th Male Overall
30th Overall
Swim: 17:25
T1: 1:59
Bike: 34:20 (23.6 MPH)
T2: 0:57
Run: 20:37 (6:39/mile)
I was 18th overall on the bike, 5th overall Male on the bike, and 4th overall in my age group on the bike.
All in all it was a great race. The weather was perfect (warm and sunny, not too windy). The swim was slower than I expected, several times I had to actually stop and sight the lane markers. With the sun shining directly into your eyes, this was not an easy task. The kicker for me on my performance this year was the run. I ran 1 minute faster per mile than I did last year. Areas for improvement are my transition times and the swim portion. If I can shave off 2 minutes somehwere, then I would be in the hunt for a top 3 finish in my age group.
I will have some pictures to post at some point.
