 Swim
Comments: A pretty good swim for me... I estimated my time at 28 minutes or so... so this made me happy, especially sans wetsuit. What would you do differently?: Not much... I stayed close to the bouy lines and I think that helped keep me on course.  Transition 1
Comments: A pretty easy T1... I didn't wear a wetsuit, so I didn't have to spend time peeling the dang thing off. What would you do differently?: Not much... maybe run the WHOLE time from the exit of the lake to the transition area... I did walk fast instead of running for a portion of the time...  Bike
Comments: Some guy was racing me the whole way... When I saw the markings on his calf I noticed he was in the 10-17 age group... OMG... Here I am, a woman practically 35 years old... racing a 10-17 year old kid! What is wrong with me???? What would you do differently?: Not much... mabye spend less time drag racing Junior and more time worrying about my own speed and cadence... Transition 2
Comments: An easy T2 What would you do differently?: Not much.  Run
Comments: Had to stop and walk for parts of the run... Met up with an older man who also had to stop sometimes, and we alternated stopping and starting and talking... What would you do differently?: Try to run more. Post race
Warm down: Hung around and talked with some of my tri friends from the gym... What limited your ability to perform faster: Genetics... and being sick and tired of training. My plan this year is wrong... need to focus on running and do fruitful running tasks rather than just piling on the junk miles. (and I'm not even piling that many junk miles on!!!) I started out strong this season and am winding up lacking focus and energy. Event comments: A nice race... this was the 10th anniversary of the Lake Zurich triathlon.. and it filled up completely. A nice, well organized race. Last updated: 2005-05-20 12:00 AM

Giver 18427  | Subject: RE: Lake Zurich Triathlon Great race, Whizz, esp. considering you were sick. Wow. And concerning the training thing...it's cool to figure this stuff out, isn't it? This sport is so complicated and I don't care if you've been doing it for 20 years, there's always new stuff to learn. Oh...and my favorite part of your RR: "Here I am, a woman practically 35 years old... racing a 10-17 year old kid! What is wrong with me????" How cool is that! Way to race that punk kid! |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: Lake Zurich Triathlon Thanks for the kind words everyone... I think I was just on the VERGE of getting some sort of bug... I rested my A$$ off on Saturday... barely moved at all... and then took a nap.... to rest some more! Chucky, thanks for the compliment! I've been biking biking biking... I think that has caused a signficant decrease in the girth of my butt/thighs/legs! Whizzzzzzzzzzz |

Got into car and drove to Lake Zurich... road construction in the area... drank a couple of cups of coffee... Woke up sweaty, so I think my fever broke while I was sleeping. Felt better than I did on Saturday, although my stomach was very upset... nerves.
Got into the water... (the muddy water, I might add) of Lake Zurich. Water was warm... just got wet and waited in line for my turn to start... Did a little socializing with people here and there...
