Chicago Triathlete Bloggers Out there?
Quote | Reply
After trying to find fellow Chicago triathlete bloggers, i found there is NO central forum for Windy City athletes that love swim.bike.run

So, i created one tonight....
http://chicagotriathletebloggers.blogspot.com/

No ulterior motives, just wanted a place to:
  • Allow fellow Chicago triathletes to find one another... and their blogs
  • Create a section of race reviews specific to the Chicago/Midwest area
  • Share coupon codes if people know of them... as we all know, tris and gear can be pricey
  • Highlight bloggers with guest posts (from newbie to pro topics)
  • and hopefully much more as the blog evolves

So, any chicago people out there, please stop by, subscribe to the blog and comment so you can be added to the blogroll.

That's pretty cool! I'm from Evanston so just north and I want to try to find some workout partners for this season so this blog is perfect. Thanks!

Great! I will post your info and let's get the ball rolling!!
Would you like me to put that you are looking for a training partner and you are near Evanston?
I live in Skokie however, i am way too slow for you :)
I also thought trying to get together meet ups if we get enough people would be cool.

Feel free to pass along the word, i am going to reach out to some tri groups as well.
Thanks for commenting. Happy training!

Sounds good! I probably won't be looking for too much partner training until after the Boston marathon but company is always good on long rides! Feel free to link my blog if you want to so it's easier for people to communicate. But love your blog idea! Let's get it going!

Hey guys, I'm the meeting coordinator for the Chicago Triathlon Club. I'm looking for a guest speaker for our May kick off- do either of you know an interesting athlete in the Chicagoland area who may want to speak for us? Maybe someone who went to Kona, overcame a struggle to become a triathlete, someone relatively famous...
