Comments: I won't forget my first triathlon! Very cool experience and it was great to meet up with a couple guys from the triscoop.com forum. They were both very friendly guys. BTW, one of the guy's training partner was the overall winner of the triathlon. After the race I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Jumpy and he told me that he was going to submit it to Brett of triscoop.com. I can't wait to hear it. I was a little discouraged during the interview because I thought I placed near the bottom of my age bracket (27/35), but all the race results weren't in yet. I was later more pleased to read that I placed 27th out of 48 in my age bracket; which is what I thought I would do. I am usually a "mid-packer" in my age group so it was nice to see that my mediocrity held up! ha! Anyhow, I am not signed up for another triathlon until Chicago, but I plan on joining a few more before August. I would like to do the Harbor Lights triathlon, the Lake Geneva triathlon, and the Naperville triathlon before

Comments: Traffic control, drink stations, and volunteers were awesome. Pretty well organized. The swim portion was a disaster with the water temperature and sandbars, but it turned out for the best. Nobody drowned as a result.
