Video Recap of Evergreen Lake Tri

July 18, 2009 By Dan

My first Olympic distance triathlon, a 1.5k swim, 40k bike and a 10k run. I have been avoid this distance for some time now.  My swim has improved considerably and I felt it was time to take the plunge and moved to the Olympic distance race.  This is my second year of going up to Hudson, IL for the race.  Last year I did the sprint race on a rainy day. This year we had perfect conditions.  Including a cool 76 degree lake temperture, good enough for a full wetsuit.  View all the results for the Evergreen Lake Triathlon

    Nice Job Dan!Looks like you had a solid swim, and an awesome ride – did you post the fasted bike split in your age group?! With these cool July temps you may get your wetsuit wish for Iron Abe.
