Pro 15655  | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? Absolutely. I have no idea how long it will take, but if you want in I'd register on day one....then you're good. |

Champion 6999 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? If I was to sign up I would sign up today. Sounds like a lot of fun but I would be scared on the bike for sure. I might pass on this one for the same reason I do not complete in crits (also sounds like fun but scary). |

I signed up this morning. I hadn't considered being concerned on the bike course... But maybe I need to think about it a little more... |

I know the website does a horrible job with this, but the race is NOT draft legal for age groupers. Only pros compete draft legal in these races. |

What concerns you about the bike course? I don't ask as a challenge or out of sarcasm. I'm asking because I was thinking of signing up. This Sat (8/24) will be only my 2nd tri so I wouldn't want to register for something that was possibly dangerous due to my lack of experience. Thanks. |

Champion 6999 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? Its not draft legal that was my biggest concern really. I still not the best on turns and sounds like there are a lot but it might not be so bad. Then again last 2 tris I got spoiled doing the Chi tri which has 4 turns over 24 miles and this one going to be like a 4 or 6 loop course? |

Expert 1121 Chicago | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? Likely . . . I did my part to make it so this morning (signed up for Olympic) . . . $30 savigs vs. registering tomorrow and $50 savings (i.e., more than cost of annual USAT membership) vs registering after Jan 1. |

Regular 328 | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? I am sign up! I envision it will fill fast consider the popularity of Tris in the Chicago Land. |

Member 169 | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? I just signed up! I would think this will fill up pretty fast. I'm glad I was browsing BT today! I'm from Chicago and this will be the first time my family will get to be around when I race. $120 for an Oly downtown Chicago? That's a STEAL today! |

| Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? Any word on something like an elite amateur wave, like Chicago Tri has? This looks interesting, but don't like the crowding potential. |

| 1159 | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? don't know if anyone mentioned, but I got an email from USAT today offering a discount for registration on this race |

Member 169 | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? $30 off the Oly if you register today. |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Will the Chicago ITU race sell out? I registered yesterday with the discount! The concerning part is definitely the bike course, especially if it's a 4-6 loop course. It's going to be packed, scary and slow. |
