  • Comments: I thought this was a very cool, fun race, and I definitely will do it again. Couple areas for improvement: 1. For the price paid they could at least spring for a technical shirt instead of cotton. The shirt itself was also really lame (just a small logo on the front, sponsors on the back). It would be so easy to come up with a cool graphic or slogan that would make the shirt fun to wear. 2. There were enough volunteers at the drink stations, but major lack of any kind of officials at the obstacles. No one there to make sure things are organized, flowing, and that people are doing the obstacles correctly (it at all!)

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Lindsay ran around 4 miles and did monkey bars, crawled under some rope things and scaled marine hurdles (she said those were a bitch and a half.) Karen ran about 3 miles and had to go up and down the stairs at Soldier Field, then slid over some taxis and had to scale a big ass wall. It was pretty damn fun. I don't know that I'd want to do 10 miles of obstacles. There were alot of meat heads at this race.
