Subject: new bike and run courses for the Galena Tri and DuSo as some of you have heard, the course for the Galena Tri is changing for 2009. Here is what I have learned from a reliable source!
Swim -- No change! Still at Nixon Beach.
T1-- Same old T1 with the hill right out of transistion.
Bike- Substantial changes for 2009. Course is now: Apple Canyon to Pea Ridge (north ) to Stagecoach (west ) (same as previous years ) to (this is where the course changes for 2009 ) Elizabeth Scales Mound (south ) ) to Rawlins (west ) to Morley (south ) to Wacker Dr (west ) to the Lodge at Eagle Ridge.
I did a mapmyride of the course--

T2- At the eagle ridge lodge
Run-- Course not finalized yet but it will be in the territory!
I will keep you all posted if and when I hear about the run. I also heard that there will likely be a packet pickup for the race in the Chicago area.
If you want to compare, a maymyride of the 2008 bike course is here:
