 Swim
Comments: Overall, happy with swim time... Didn't draft alot but it's not always easy finding someone the right pace to draft off of... 2 1/2 minutes faster this year than last. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Transition 1
Comments: Good transition. I had a Happy Birthday Balloon to help me find my stuff in a super huge tran area. It worked. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Got a little scare running over a full gatorade bottle on second lap. The thing exploded but the bike came through okay. Was actually faster going into last segment, but held back a bit to try to avoid cramping on the run. Didn't work, but was pretty fresh for the run, at least... I've got at least 1 maybe 2 mph more in me for same conditions next year... Does anyone know a good bike shop in the Chicago area? I'm getting faster and faster on the bike (up over 2 mph from last year at Accenture and 100/3928 this year), but still can't find a bike shop that can give me smooth, consistent (not skipping gears) shifting with Dura Ace components on a year old bike. What would you do differently?: Continue to push the last 6 miles or so (lost probably .5 to .75 mph over last 6 miles to try to avoid cramping on the run) Transition 2
Comments: Forgot to get my Polar HRM/Spd watch off of the bike, Lost about 20-30 seconds retrieving it. Otherwise okay. What would you do differently?: Remember the HRM/Spd watch (or get new stand alone on bike computer)  Run
Comments: Not a bad run considering I cramped (side cramps) the entire run. Hurt, but I have had them enough that I can maintain a decent (albeit slower) pace with them. Probably lost 15-20 seconds/mile. 45 seconds/mile faster this year than last. Post race
Warm down: Walked back to get gear... What limited your ability to perform faster: Fear of cramping on the run (when I was on the bike), and actual cramping on the run... Overall,probably lost b/w 3-5 minutes... Event comments: Does anyone have good bike shop in Chicago/NW Suburb area? Last updated: 2007-08-26 12:00 AM

Got there early to get a good rack spot as close to bike out as possible. Walked transition area to bike outs and run outs to refamiliarize myself with tran area (2nd timer).
Walked swim to look for sighting guideposts.
Does waiting in the porta-potty line count?
