run race 2:42:01 [4]
Not my best due to being sicker than ever, coughing like I smoke two packs a day and slight fever but I figured if I could get thru the swim I would be fine. Swim was slow for me, just problems breathing and drinking lots of unfiltered Lake Michigan water. 27:50, 2 min off best..........Bike avged 21.1 and it was amazing with 2 loops there were guys weaving within an inch or two between me and the stone wall on underground wacker. Run was measured at 6.75 by all and was 3 loops so fun to run thru the crowds at Buckingham fountain. 55.0. 32nd in AG compared to 15 last year but was happy to have the experience and Chicago knows how to do it! Fun to hear all the cheers in every language imaginable with participation from over 50 countries.........Not how I planned ending the season but with how I felt I was glad it ended..........time to rest a bit, figure out if I have anything left in the tank and get ready for the most successful barn party yet. Martina Mcbride is quite a draw and the auction trips are amazing.........good news! Keep on moving forward, right? : )
