Naperville U.S. Women’s Triathlon
No, I didn’t race, but I went to watch my fiancee and her friend do the race. Carrie did great and I am so proud of her!
It’s a different experience to watch a triathlon instead of participate, but I had a lot of fun. The course was set up well for spectators. I got to see Carrie 4 or 5 times and I got a bunch of really good pictures. I love the continuous shot mode on the camera. It really helps to capture action shots.
The weather was perfect for the race, except for the storm that delayed the start by 1 hour. The race looked like it was put on well. Carrie had a lot of fun and had a smile on her face every time I saw her. I even got a kiss from her on the run out.
While standing at the bike out waiting to see Carrie, I saw a lot of the participants struggle with getting on their bikes and getting started. It looked like most people were in way too high of a gear. I have to think they talk about this at the seminar at the expo. It just seems like this one little piece of advice would make the bike start a lot easier.
