Accenture Chicago Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Must do more free and less breast, even though there's congestion in the water. The 2.54 min/100 yds pace is a little off of my training 2 min/100 yds pace, and I can push myself. I was out of the water at 17:58, and the other 3 mins was the run to the transition area.

I love my tri suit and not having to change clothes! Ate 1 Clif Blok.

I can ride harder, and strive to do a 20 mph race pace, but I always get psyched out by wanting to make sure to save energy for the run. I was also in my middle front ring, which I probably should have changed before the race but forgot about it. Standing up in the saddle when going over the hilly overpasses helped to stretch out the legs for the run.

Push myself harder

Did downward dog, but otherwise I don't know why this transition was so slow. Ate 1 Clif Blok.

No bricks, no twinges from the left piriformis muscle. I could have pushed harder; I finished the race with too much energy left!

Push myself harder.

Stretch stretch stretch. Banana. Gatorade


Fear of running out of gas for the run portion made me hold back.


Very well organized given the sheer number of participants and spectators.
