  • Comments: Despite the crummy bike course condition, the sprint race is a lot of fun at Chicago. It's not that crowded yet as the Olympic waves haven't gone off and the heat of the day is later.

  • Comments: This was a good first race - except the choppy swim. The bike and run are flat, there's TONS of people cheering you on, and you get a finisher medal, and really, who doesn't want one of those?

  • Comments: Very glad I was doing the sprint, and had an early wave. There was still tons of traffic during the swim, but the bike was pretty open. I can see why a lot of people nix the Olympic. I watched a lot of the swim for the olympic after I was done, and it looked like a total mess. I can only imagine what it would be like on the bike course. I will likely do the race again, but will leave my first olympic distance to a smaller venue.

  • Comments: Even though the size of this race had me nervous, I only really noticed it on the bike. It was really fun doing a BIG race for once, but I still might prefer the smaller ones.
