"This is a great little sprint race to do. The swim is fantastic - which is hard to come by out in the 'burbs of Chgo. The only downside to the race is the point to point set up. I hate having 2 transition areas. The bike is a little hilly, so it keeps it from being boring and the run is nice as well. I would recommend this race to any first timer and veteran athletes who need a little sprint race to get them going! Super well organized. Trudy W does a great job."

"Overall I had a very good time at this event. It was pretty well run and much better than I expected going in. The swim takes place in Woods Creek which I thought initially was going to be pretty filthy, but turned out to not be too bad. Very hilly course on the bike, and a few big run hills as well. I definitely plan to participate again next year!"
