Tracy's got another triathlon under her belt. Slightly longer distances than her first sprint, and a better time. Impressive. When she does another one, I need to remember to bring food for myself. Also, I'm now her sherpa, carrying her packs and food from the car to the transition area and lugging it around while she's competing so it's available when she finishes. Friday night was just leftovers. Saturday she worked so I did a couple chores, watched Wanted (I caved, and rented a couple movies through Redbox and transcoded them for the Apple TV). I found out you can view and reserve movies at each Redbox location, but I made a mistake and rented movies at both the Jewel on Broadway and Ashland. Whoops. So had some biking to do to pick them up. Dinner at Adesso on Saturday night before heading up to Waukegan for the night. Not what I was expecting. Trying to check the course out the night before in the dark wasn't working, and it was a little confusing. But a little more straightforward early Sunday morning for the Harbor Lights Triathlon. The day before I tried to do a once over with her bike, and can't seem to get the front derailleur dialed in. Still can't hit the biggest chainring. Water was a frigid 58°F. I tooled around on my bike with two bags in the baskets, before settling in after her first transition. Took as many photos as I could with a real camera, and didn't do the play by play Facebook status updates. Got a lake checkout, so after she finished and got some free food, went back for showers. Shopped a little at Old Orchard, before hitting up a BW3 for dinner, which was pretty good. Ended up walking out with a bottle of the Medium Sauce. Also, I don't think Rolling Rock tastes like creamed corn. Relatively early night ended with watching Push in bed.
