Naperville Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I really felt like I was pushing it so my time was disappointing. I was surprised that I was 8th in my age group. I'm usually much lower.

I felt like I did everything I could during the race. Obviously, need to work more on stroke effeciency for the long term.

Couldn't get feet into shoes easily. Shoes kept turning over.

I felt I was going faster than 16 but the time tells the story. I was actually worried I might be going too fast so slowed down some during the second lap.

Not much. I would have liked to have gone faster but I had something left for the run.

Got off bike OK but then shoe drug along ground and had to stop to clear it. Then I went down the wrong aisle to rack my bike but probably only lost a few seconds.

Get off smoother and know exactly where my rack is.

This was a great run for me. I had a Gu about 1/2 mile into the run and I think it really helped later on.

Nothing - keep working on the bricks - they're helping alot.

Met with Terri and Sandy and walked bike back to car. Would have liked to do more stretching.


Good race overall and good one for beginners. Well organized especially considering the number of participants. The two loops on the bike were a little crowded and there was a longish wait to start the swim but other than that, I thought it was an above average race.
