Subject: RE: Is Chicago Tri worth the money?I have never done the Chicago tri, even though I am in South Bend, and am pretty close. First, you said sprint, I am pretty sure it is an Olympic distance race, but there might be a sprint with it... not sure.
I have hade some friends do the race, and their commenst were that it wsa a fun race and organized extremely well, but don't expect to set a PR there, as the bike and run portions are so tight, due to all the people in the race, that you can hardly pass, and are forced to have somewhat of a pack pace. That doesn't sound fun to me, so I spend my money on races that I can race my pace, and not worry about bumping into people.
Please note that everybody I have met said it was a fun race... nothing really derogatory
