 Swim
Comments: This was a good swim for me. I was relaxed; kept good form throughout; sighted pretty well. Could have gone faster. The rolling backstroke turns worked well. What would you do differently?: Push a little harder.  Transition 1
Comments: There was a very long run from swim out to my bike; atleast 1/4 mile. I ran pretty hard during this time and cut through transition. 3rd fastest in my age group, so overall I did very well. I wasted time trying to get nutriition in my tri suit. What would you do differently?: Just carry my nutriion or put the nutrition in my tri suit prior to swim.  Bike
Comments: This was a very good bike for me. Fastest bike split for me ever ~21.4 MPH. Not much I would do different. The course was likely shorter than the 12.4 miles as advertised. Transition 2
Comments: A very good T2. Struggled with getting shoes on. Likely need new shoes :) 4th in my age group in T2! What would you do differently?: Not much.  Run
Comments: Good run for me! What would you do differently?: Could have pushed slightly harder, but not much. Post race
Warm down: Water, stretch, banana, bagel, and relax. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not much. Overall, with my current conditioning, this was almost the perfect race for me. Last updated: 2013-08-05 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 845 | Subject: RE: Naperville Sprint Triathlon Great job Todd! Sounds like you had the perfect race. I learned those backstroke turns and never really seen anyone doing them, they do sound like they will help you get thru the turns faster. |

Woke up at 3:30 and had a little bit of coffee, drank 20 oz of water and a bagel with peanut butter. Sipped on powerade during the hour drive to the race. Had a banana about 1 hour before race. I think this combination of food is perfect for a spring
Swam the entire 400m swim course. I have learned that a swim warm up is imperative for me to have a good race swim. Practiced my 180 degree turns by rolling/ backstroke technique. This tecnique worked well.
