Champion 15211 Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL | Subject: RE: Evergreen Lake Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread Sweet. Interesting configuration. Instead of doing a separate bike course for the Sprint, they just have the Sprint folks doing the Oly distance. going to be quite a LONG ride. |

Champion 15211 Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL | Subject: RE: Evergreen Lake Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread I also just looked up the bike course on MapMyRide from the race website. This is gonna be a SUPER fast ride. Only a total of 279 feet of elevation gain. And you do that all the way out to the turn around so you get to go down that the whole way back. Not that it is THAT much of an advantage with it being that flat. I'm gonna like this one. |

That was without a wetsuit, right? So it is all in your head. No big shake. You will be fine. |

That was without a wetsuit, right? So it is all in your head. No big shake. You will be fine. Not really, I normally swim 4x400's with 30 seconds rest between in the pool. I bumped it to 1x400 and 3x500's last week. I don't expect a stellar swim anyway cause I suck. My 500's take 10 minutes. But I figured I'd use the wetsuit and just float a couple times along the way to compose myself. I swam 1 1/2 miles at the lakefront a few weeks ago like this and it took 50 minutes. Your probably right though, this is more mental than anything. Edited by Meulen 2010-07-13 2:32 PM |

New user 2 | Subject: RE: Evergreen Lake Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread Swim will not be hard....just remember to swim like you do in the pool, which is nice easy long strokes. Dont try to blow out early...you will just suck-water at the 200 yard mark. Wetsuites are nice, don't get me wrong, but your body and your forward motion will keep you afloat. Besides, you can always climb on the poor S.O.B. in front of you and surf him in *s* |
