  • Comments: My goals three goals were sub: 1:54:11 (last year's pr), Sub 1:50, and the 'would be sweet' goal of 1:45. Just missed that super aggressive goal..will probably take next year off unless I'm recovered from IMOO. Top 15% of the race!! Wow! this tri training pays off!!! I was on the news too

  • Comments: I didn't look up more than 6 times, I swear. I really tried to stay focused and push myself instead of coasting through. I think I will do that in more races but try to actually try to push my speed to the max in more 5 and 10K races. I really want to see what I can do if I push myself to the max. I think every year I get faster and I limit meyself because I don't really push it.

  • Comments: I enjoy this race. The crowds are pretty good except when you're out on Lake Shore Drive. The post-race food leaves a little to be desired, but I suppose with the number of people they have racing, it's hard to feed everyone. It's well organized, and the route is pretty cool.
