Naperville Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

For me this was a poor swim. I have not trained for swimming as I normally do in about 7 months. Additionally, I was constantly running over people. Some people really don't know how to seed themselves. I was going to be honest, and line up at the 6-7 minute swim speed before the race, but I kept looking at the competition and thinking, "There is no way that old guy could possibly be faster than me" So I kept moving forward. Good idea. of the 1594 I had the 33 fastest swim time, and I left quite a bit on the table.

I should have lined up even further toward the front. I am one of the fast guys. I won't make that mistake in chicago.

HUGE transition area. I was about as far away from the swim exit as anyone. I guess they put the studs toward the back to be close to the bike out as much as possible.

Nothing, the whole thing was a blur of speed.

People will complain about the slow cyclists, but tough luck, get better in the swim so you can be out in front.

Nothing, I pushed all out the whole time

Felt fine off the bike. I passed a lot of the super cyclists. I guess that indicates I'm a pretty good runner off the bike.

Nothing. I'll come back next year, better and faster.

Loved every minute of it.
