Subject: RE: Hilton Chicago and the Chicago Oly Yes, it is across he park from the swim start, but about 1 mile from T1/T2 (just so you're not surprised). If you're looking for a hotel that's closer to T1, take a look at the Fairmont Hotel. I'm staying at the Hilton though and there will probably be another 150-200+ triathletes there as well. The Sprint has gone off first in the past with the Oly following it. So, yes, many Oly triathletes head back to the hotel/bed after setting up transition. |
