Jeff, have you done Chicago before?  Just wondering how it is.

I check in here occasionally, it has been pretty quiet in here for a while!

March:  Rock CF Half Marathon

June:  Motor City Olympic

July:  XTERRA Ionia

August:  Chicago Olympic

Probably a fall half marathon but I haven't decided on one yet.

Only problem is I currently have absolutely no motivation to train.  Guess I just have to do it!!  

Happy training everyone!!!

Coffer, yes last year was the 1st time I did the race (Olympic). Will do again this year.

Overall, I liked the race. It was a humid day, so that made it a bit miserable, but it was very well produced.

Riding your bike on lower Wacker, knowing that the newer Batman movies were shot there, was really cool.

It is a HUGE event. I think 15,000 amongst all distances. So, you have to take that into consideration. The bike course is very congested. There are areas where you have to ride single file, with no ability to pass. There are a lot is 1st timers. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but just know that proper biking etiquette isn't a priority.

I really enjoyed the race, even with a few nuances. I booked a room at the host hotel, Chicago Hilton, for Saturday night, making Sunday morning (race day) easy to manage. It was ~$200. Made things easy for my wife and kids.

Anyway, hope you get your motivation back. Best thing to do is sign up for races.

I may run the Little Traverse Tri in Harbor Springs in July if my schedule permits

I wouldn't mind another race, maybe something out of town at some point.

Still planning my 2017 schedule... although my training has started.

There is a brand new triathlon in Northern Michigan... Walloon Lake Triathlon (triwalloon.com) Looks like it will be a great event.

Wow, I didn't think the Michigan forum was active anymore.

Definitely doing Caseville (Sprint) on July 9th, and thinking about Traverse City (Sprint) on August 20th. Haven't done any in a few years due to knee surgeries, so I'm taking it slow.
