 Swim
Comments: Don't know if the wet suit helped or hurt given the amount of aqua jogging this year. I was warm when I got on the bike which helped. What would you do differently?: Not sure. The wet suit is debatable.  Transition 1
Comments: It was a ways from the swim out to my bike and then the bike out. Lots and lots of running. And my wetsuit got caught up on the timing device. It was a new device that I heard was in beta (testing). It was huge. I felt like I was on house arrest or on probation. I went to yank my leg out and fell right over in a weird side-ward dog push up position. Comical. Ran jumped on bike nicely done. Had a big problem getting into my shoes. I forgot to body glide the backs of both and really had a difficult time getting in. D'oh!  Bike
Comments: I was slightly faster than last year but last year was windy and this year was ideal. So the course was playing fast. I did ok. Too many dudes blowing by me though. Transition 2
Comments: About as good as I could have done. I pulled out of my shoes too soon on the course. I thought I was closer to the end than I was. But overall there was nothing more in this transition that really could have been better. I may have been able to shave 5 seconds but thats it.  Run
Comments: I was 11 seconds slower than last year. This was only my second brick of the year as well. Had a pretty good first mile (6:36). Was holding on for the rest. Didn't really wale on this like I hoped. What would you do differently?: Run faster, duh. Post race
Warm down: Walk/Run grab a banana talk to Dave-O and wait for Jen. What limited your ability to perform faster: I hate sweating. Its just plain gross. And stopping to chase squirrels in the park probably didn't help any either. Last updated: 2009-05-18 12:00 AM

Went out for a run right when I got up (3:50am) to work out some jitters. About 10 minutes. Left the house around 4:30AM for the race. Followed a drunk driver the whole way. That was fun. Lots of cars with bikes out on the x-pressway but almost all were headed to Naperville.
Got set up in transition - not at all happy with my location. Out of practice and forgot to do a couple things that probably cost me time (body glide my ankles for the wet suite and body glide the back of my bike shoes for slip on/out on the bike). Also sat and debated wearing a wetsuit. Took time and energy. Got out for about an 8 minute run warm up on the path.
