Not terribly harsh, but I was in an interval (high gear, mid 90s cadence) when the last spoke broke.
I'm about 175 lbs.
The wheel had about 1200 miles before the snapping started.
How can I tell what type of spokes are on the wheel?
There's usually a stamp or mark right on the head of the spoke. It sounds like the wheel had insufficient tension, and over a period of time did a job on the spokes, and now you're reaping the rewards. I would replace all the spokes in the wheel; you might also check (or have your LBS check) the hub and the rim.
