Congratulations to all of you! I didn't race this year, but I was at mile 24, wearing pink shorts, ringing a cowbell and cheering everyone on. It was a great day for a race!

I always wonder why the Chicago triathlon doesn't get any press. I know many local athletes who participated in it. Actually there were many locals who placed in their age group and very high overall. The race itself wasn't even on the radar!
