I’ll be in Chicago for a seminar from April 13th til April 15th, looking for some STers in the area who might be able to sneak me into one of their masters swim workouts, or maybe tag along for a run (so I don’t have to run alone).
I haven’t been to Chicago since 99, I’m staying at the Ritz-Carleton (oh la la), so I’m guessing any runs will be along the lakefront trail. Any suggestions on where to swim?
Thx,
AP
I was there in 2001 and went to the Niketown on MI Ave. They had a running group that went out along the lake evenings. Different distances and different speeds. Worked good for my wife and I.

Lots of people run along the Lakeshore path so you won’t be running alone even if you start out that way.
Excellent, good tip, thanks!
The Masters State Championship is April 14-17 so most teams will be tapering/racing while you here. You can check http://www.cmsaswimming.org for more info on local teams.
The Chicago Athletic Club (Washington and Michigan Ave?) has a pool thats cheap to get into.
Fleet Feet has groups runs. They’re in Old Town, just north of Michigan Ave.
Check http://www.chicagotriclub.com for other info.
PM me and I’d be happy to help you out while you here.

Thx, you rock. I’ll PM you once I get into town, or en route (love wireless laptops!)
