Accenture Chicago Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

i trained very hard for the swim this year and when it came to race time i choked. i know what i have to do next you and i will not be defeated by the OWS during this tri again

breath and swim

need pam on my ankles and need to get bike off rack quicker

may not use socks and get some tri shoes

need more water and less sports drink - aero bottle straw in wrong hole- test computer next time after adjusting it.

make space for bike before trying to squeeze it in because my pedal got caught in guys bike next to me and could not free it for a while

was really dehydrated, but it was too late

need to drink drink drink days before.

was dehydrated


need to be more prepared for swim. maybe i will practice bumping into stuff to screw up my breathing and get back into the breathing. this was a special tri because my girlfriend and i got to train together and share the entire experience together. I wish we could get the entire post race experience together but our fans would not allow that, but next year will be different. heres to a good race(raising my imaginary glass of sake that i will soon be drinking in japan).
