On Sunday, June 16, Justin and I competed in our fifth sprint triathlon and our second time racing in Lake in the Hills, Illinois. Sprint tri distances can vary but a typical sprint distance has a .25-.5 mile swim, 12-16ish mile bike, and 3-4 mile run. The Lake in the Hills race was a .5 mile swim, 15.5 mile bike, and 4 mile run.

Like the Moose Miles 5K, this race holds a special place in our hearts because it was the first triathlon competition of which we raced, in June 2011. Back then, we swam in wake-boarding spring suits (thick wetsuits that extend to your elbows and knees) and used our Schwinn hybrid bikes. In the two years since and using our upgraded equipment, Justin trimmed off a little more than 22 minutes, finishing in 1:36:25 and I clocked 1:45:38, also a little more than 22 minutes better than the first time.
