  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Overall their is definately room for improvement, but I started training for this event three weeks into a thirteen week training plan, which only had me training for minutes, not speed or technique. I am very excited about doing at least two tris next year. I plan to take the winter to work on my swimming, I believe this will help me the most to improve. I also want to start training for speed and technique in all three phases so that I can improve and maybe move up to the olympic distance by next year. Who knows, the next olympics are only four short years away....LOL!!!

  • Comments: The mess in the pool was a bit much for me as a first timer and then my weird medical thing limited me some. But overall I had a blast and will be doing more tri's next year and I will definetely be back in Naperville to better my time.

  • Comments: I don't think anyone should ever do this race if they can't fix the swim part. I was right in the middle of the pack. And it was a horrible experience. The people who went in first were probably ok but I didn't get in until 30 minutes in and it was chaos, a free for all

  • Comments: Ok, I'm not trying to rip on this race at all...but if you have 1375 Registered participants you NEED to have more than one food line. I didn't even bother trying to get food, since it probably would have taken longer to get something there than to pack up after the race and drive off. Other than that, great race, good venue for the race. Pictures are post race of my friend Kristen and I, and of the broken lane line from the swim.
