ITU racing

I'm spending the week in Chicago (area) after doing ITU yesterday. If anyone has a chance, I'd strongly reccomend coming out here next September when the world championships is here. It was an absolute blast. The age group race was large, but very organized and a ton of fun. I think alot of PR's were set. I'll do a race report later this week, but I was pretty happy to race a 2:31 which was good for a PR by 10 minutes. (The bike course was a bit short, I'm pretty sure but not complaining).

Watching the pros was awesome. If you've never seen ITU racing, you need to check it out. The race is very spectator friendly. You can see the athletes very well most of the race and the draft racing on the bike add an element that just doesn't exist with typical time-trial races. Heckuva time and next year it should be even better.
