A highlight of the day was racing alongside five of the athletes she coaches.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 82 WIDTH="499"><div> <B>APR 26, 2009 (Whitewater, WI) </B>Why travel to Florida in April when there is a triathlon in Wisconsin? Lauren won the J-Hawk Early Bird Triathlon, which was held at the UW-Whitewater campus in between flash flood-causing rain storms. Since the local lakes are still a bit chilly, the swim is held in a heated indoor pool, followed by a bike on the county roads, and a cross-country run on trails.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 115 WIDTH="499"><div> <B>APR 5, 2009 (New Orleans, LA) </B>At the super-stacked inaugral edition of the Ironman 70.3 New Orleans, Lauren reports she had a decent swim but then a bad T1. One of her shoes was lost in transition as it was inadvertantly knocked off by another pro women leaving transition. Lauren did not realize this until she went to mount her bike sans shoe. After retrieving it, she felt decent on the bike, but the winter in Wisconsin does not prepare one for 75-80F and high humidity. So, she backed it down on the run and made it a good training race.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 66 WIDTH="499"><div> <B>MAR 8, 2009 (Wheaton, IL) </B>Just 0.004 miles separated the first and second place females in the last stop of the Midwest Indoor Tri-Classic Series for 2009. Lauren was "out-leaned" and ended up second. Now she is off to California for the annual Team Sport Beans/NTTC camp.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 99 WIDTH="499"><div> <B>FEB 15, 2009 (Clermont, FL) </B>After shaking off the winter cobwebs at one of the stops of the annual Midwest Indoor Tri-Classic Series held in the warm and temperate climate of Edward Health and Fitness Center in Woodridge, IL, Lauren traveled to sunny Florida for a sprint triathlon in Clermont against some good competition like 70.3 champion Joanna Zieger. After only a handful of outdoor rides during the winter, Lauren was happy with a 3rd place and a change to blow out some more carbon from the engine.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
