Danskin Women's Triathlon - Chicagoland - TriathlonSprint

This was pretty good, but I was hoping for a swim time around 14 minutes. Unfortunately, I had a hard time spotting because of the glare off the water (I was wearing my clear pool goggles) and I swam off course twice.

New goggles. More time in open water. More practice spotting.

I got lost on the way to my row. I recovered quickly but could probably do this a little faster.

I would not get lost.

I did really well I think considering that I wanted to quit because of this part of the race about a week ago. I was expecting about 12-13mph, so I'm very happy with this.

Nothing really. I think I can get stronger, but this was a good start.

I tried to run with the bike into the transition area, but my legs were not having it. So I walked. Maybe once I get more used to this I'll be able to jump off the bike and run.

Just shave a little time off by running into the transition area.

A 10:20 pace for me is very solid, and one of my faster 5ks. I think my fastest 5k PR is only like 20 seconds faster than this. My legs, once I walked and let them re-acclimate to being on the ground I get, recovered nicely, and I felt good the entire run.

Try to get a little faster, but this was definitely a good time for me.

Walked a bit. Totally forgot to stretch because I was trying to find my people.


Faster? This very well may have been the top of the mountain for me.


Great first triathlon! This is probably one of my best races ever. Loved it!
