Looking back on Tri Season 2023

This was such a fun triathlon season.

Had my best swim in a tri in the last decade and actually kind'a enjoyed swimming (well, sort of). I really have to thank my coach, Liz Waterstraat for that!  She had me focus on the things I could change, like relaxing, swimming straight, sighting, etc and allowed me to ignore the things I couldn't control like my kick and low power.  Her advice to carefully check the swim course paid off because I was able to cut to the inside on a turn where many swimmers held the line of bouys.  My run was also really good at Tri Nationals. Now focusing on completing my 20th Chicago Marathon in just 4 weeks.
