The Chicago Triathlon course
Sprint and Olympic athletes swim in Lake Michigan from Monroe Harbor, while the Saturday SuperSprint swims at Foster Beach. The Sprint and Olympic bike uses a closed Lakeshore Drive, Lower Wacker Drive underground and the McCormick Place Busway. The run passes Buckingham Fountain, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and Soldier Field, finishing on Columbus Drive.
What to train for
Short-course racing rewards speed: include race-pace intervals in all three sports and practice quick transitions. Open-water sessions help with sighting and crowded starts.

Chicago Triathlon training questions
How long should I train for the Chicago Triathlon?
Most athletes give a Olympic-distance triathlon twelve to sixteen weeks of focused training on top of an existing base. The coach counts back from your actual race date, so if you have less time than that it builds the best plan the remaining weeks allow rather than pretending you have longer.

How cold is the water at the Chicago Triathlon?
The Chicago Triathlon does not publish a typical water temperature. The athlete guide gives the wetsuit rule for race day: check it before you plan your open-water sessions.
Do I need an account to get a Chicago Triathlon training plan?
