Who’ll be there next weekend?
Also, i’ve been waiting for a long while for my new nimbus vii’s to arrive. still not here, so i’m out the door to get some vi’s.
my current shoes are broken down so far that i’m starting to hurt during my runs. is it really risky to change shoes with a week to go until race day? i’ll put in about 20 miles this week.
I will be there. It will be my first attempt of this distance. Sure hope the weather isn’t too hot and humid - the forecast for Chicago doesn’t look good for the end of next week 
Regarding your shoes - if your current ones are hurting you then I wouldn’t race in them. 20 miles should be plenty to break in new shoes especially if they are the same size and model as your current ones. I have been known to wear brand new shoes at races without any consequences.
I’ll be there, but for the sprint. My swimming is still an issue. They’re going to have a little practice swim on the short course at 8:00am tomorrow, and it sounds like a bunch are riding the short course bike route also.

I’ll be there.
And it’s gonna hurt.

why will it hurt?
was it fun last year?
I’ll be there for the half
.
It’s gonna hurt because I’m a little undertrained. I haven’t done nearly enough swimming or big rides.
Last year was awesome, except they had to shorten the swim because of the rough water. It was probably only abot 500 yards, I think.
I was only a few yards from Dave Scott in the bike corral. Kinda unreal.
This is going to evolve into a very good race. I predict it’ll bring in big numbers in a few years. Gloria West is the race director and she’s very good.
Good luck everybody!
