Sylvania Trathlon

The Sylvania Triathlon is located in Sylvania, Ohio. Approximately 60 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport. Theevent offers Sprint, Olympic and Duathlon events. I chose to participate in the Olympic event this year. MY FIRST OLYMPIC 1.5K Swim, 40K Bike and a 10K Run.

This event was very difficult in terms of the distance. I had a pretty good swim, finishingthe 1.5K in just over 26 minutes. I really felt good getting out of the water. Unlike the Clark Lake Triathlon, I swam in open water the entire distance with a few exceptions.

I felt really good on the bike for the first 18 miles. I'm guessing I averaged just under 20 miles per hour. I slowed down on the final 6 and still finished at just over 19 miles per hour. I was definitely hurting at the end. I finished this stage in 1:17.

During the run, my legs felt very heavy and I kept pushing myself through the stage. My finishing time for the run was 60 minutes. About 9:48 pace.

All in all, I felt I did rather well.
