 Swim
 Transition 1
Comments: I'm bad at transitions. There was a pretty long run from the swim finish, under Lakeshore Drive, then to the park where the transition area is. When I got there, I couldn't find my bike (I passed it twice) so that added some time. When I finally did find it, I had a really difficult time getting the wetsuit off. I didn't take off my timing chip and that took some extra time to try to get it off without hurting the wetsuit.  Bike
Transition 2
Comments: T2 went okay. I forgot to take off my bike gloves and realized it at the first water station. Other than that, pretty smooth and easy. Could have been faster, but I'm just slow and took a little time.  Run
Post race
Event comments: I loved this race! It was super organized and I felt like I was part of something really big. I'll do it again next year, for sure! Last updated: 2014-06-30 12:00 AM

Sally's did the Olympic and I did the Sprint. This means she started at 6:10am and I started at 11:45am. We arrived at the race around 5am so Sally could set up her transition area. It was pouring down rain as we were walking to the transition area from the subway stop. She got her area set up and we walked to the start. we didn't think to bring sandles, so her feet were pretty sore by the time we got to Monroe Harbor. I helped her into her wetsuit and she was off..
I went down to Walgreens near the race for some sandles. Walked a few miles during her race as I tried to get in a good position to watch her. This means I missed her on one bike lap. After her race, I went to transitiion to get my area set up. Then we went to the grandstands to watch the Olympic folks finishing. Fun!
