Member 166 Delco, PA | Subject: Schedule: ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago Not sure where the original release is from, but I just saw the proposed schedule via the "USAT TeamUSA" Facebook group. Copied and pasted via Dave Campbell of that group: Proposed Schedule - ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago I'm a first-time Worlds qualifier, so I"m not really sure how everything flows throughout that week. I'm racing in the standard distance age group championships. I was planning on arriving late Friday night. Will I be able to do everything (packet pick-up, transition set-up, etc.) on Saturday the 19th, then race on Sunday the 20th? Or would that be too late for some reason?

1055 | Subject: RE: Schedule: ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago Ugh, another week with Columbus Drive being shut down. Not very excited about this from a commuting perspective. If they run the same course as 2014, they'll be shutting down LSD daily. It's one thing to shut it down on a weekend in June. . . its entirely another thing to shut it down daily for four straight days after Labor Day in September. And then they'll be shutting down Lower Wacker for multiple days. I guess we've lived with long term closures on that road in the past, but talk abut some really annoyed commuters. I really hope they've pre-cleared all of this by the city. They had a lot of delays last year and the rumor is that the city kept shooting down their route plans due to traffic concerns. If they got all up in arms about a weekend race, think about what they are going to be saying for several days of races. Honestly, I'm shocked the city agreed to this in the first place. Though I suppose this isn't remotely as bad as the stupidity that surrounded the summer Olympics bid from a few years ago. |
