Subaru US Women's Triathlon Series - Naperville - TriathlonSprint

Well it was my first time so I think I did pretty well for myself.

Well I would have stay closer to the lane line so that I could see the line as I breathed to make sure I was staying on course/in a straighter line. And since I have a swimming back ground i would like to have gone out a little harder, I think I was a little confused/shocked swimming in lake and I didn't push myself in the begining.

way to slow!

I would have grabbed my gloves and put them on after I was on the bike because my transition was 4min 44 sec. which it kind of high.

I am buying a new bike and I think having clip in pedals will make a big difference in how efficent my RPM's are in comparission to the regular (now strap or clip in ) pedals I used for this race.

practice shifting gears on hills because I felt kind of clueless as to what was the most productive gear for me.

Pretty decent transition but I wasted time drinking from my water bottle when there was a water station on an early part of the run.. my bad.

I pulled or strained something on the outside of my right foot 2 days before the race, but i didnt want to drop out. So, it was hurting really bad but then "went numb" around mile 2 and then I didn't care about the pain because i was almost finished.

not hurt my foot :) And pick up my pace around the last mile vs the last half mile

drink water and walk around, light snack like half a power bar


My sore foot and my bike


I loved the women's only triathlon. I mean it was my first one anyway, but I thought the spirit of all the women and the cause (for ovarian cancer) was empowering.
