Are you fan of running, biking and swimming? Good news, today is the the running of the annual Chicago Triathlon. Chicago Triathlon is the events 28th year and seems to be the largest event of its kind.

It began at 6:00 AM this morning, and will commence at 3:00 PM with the award ceremony.

The event, like all triathlons consists of running, biking, and swimming. There will be a 1.5K swim in Monrow Street Harbor. Swimmers will then exit the water and proceed to run 450 yards. The athletes will then get on their bicycles, for a 40K ride beginning down Lake Shore Drive. They will then get off of their bikes and begin running just south of Randolph at the grass reserve for 5K or 10K, depending on their level of skill.

It’s been a hectic week here at Plus Runner, and I wanted to post a few last minute thoughts before the weekend begins.

First, if you’re doing Chicago this weekend, good luck. If I’m the only nutcase out there, I’d be surprised. The weather looks good (low humidity, warm day), but things should be okay.
