Comments: I give this an above average experience since I made an out of state race happen, rented a bike, swam in Lake Michigan, and had a few good take aways. The event was very well organized, friendly volunteers, nice dry-fit race shirt, and solid post race party.

Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

Comments: The course is pancake flat (both bike and run). My biggest gripe was the condition of the roads on the bike. If they don't get that fixed somebody is going to get hurt. The other issue is that it is over a mile walk from the cars to transition. My friends with kids were not happy about that as walking with a 3 year old at 5:30am for a mile is not fun. They said there were shuttle buses, but we didn't see any. However, the post race food spread almost makes up the above issues. It is a good local race and well organized. If you are looking for a beginner race this would be a good one (assuming they fix the bike course).

Comments: This is a great race. It's billed as a Sprint Distance event but with an 800 meter swim, and a 4 mile run, it's on the longer side of most of the sprints in the Chicago area. It's a great opportunity to hit a Sprint event with some longer sections.

Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: Very organized. Great volunteers/civil servants. A lot of the course was through industrial areas but that's ok. Wasn't there to sight see. Some extremely rough spots on bike course (my only complaint) but they marked them with orange spray paint. Hopefully they will patch those areas up some day. Looking forward to next year!

Comments: Capri Events puts on a good race. Yes - the access roads were bad, but that's the city, not Capri Events. My hometown race basically - 10 minutes to the course - so I'll probably keep trying to find this race on my schedule!
