  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Some things that I didn't like were out of anyone's control (e.g., the swim cancellation). However, I felt the transitions had very poor security. When I came into T1, some dude was just standing by my bike staring at it. Fortunately my wife was there keeping an eye on things, plus lots of non-participants just kind of wandering around in there. I wrote it off as being a race for beginners, but now I read that the situation was much the same for Sunday's events. A fun race, and obviously they had some weather hurdles to deal with, but still could have been organized better.

  • Comments: We were told there would be no race day packet pick-up, yet I saw dozens of people doing just that. At least I stayed at a friend's apartment, so that didn't cost me an extra night in a hotel. They didn't have the normal velcro straps for timing chips and instead used the bracelets, like you'd wear around your wrist at Noah's Ark. Needless to say, it didn't come close to fitting around my ankle and they gave you a second colored bracelet which was supposed to get you into the "party" the next day, but they kept announcing at the race that your bib number was your ticket in. I ended up having to knot my timing chip into my shoelaces. There was not evnough parking for participants, the transition area was poorly planned and the hassles of dealing with Chicago were too much for me to consider doinig this event again

  • Comments: I was disappointed that they had to cancel the swim. But the duathlon format was interesting and the first run segment made the race worthwhile. This was my first Chicago Triathlon and will definitely not be my last! I'm looking forward to next year already.
