Chicagoland Winter Tris

I've been meaning to post this for ages (obviously, already missed the first one), just couldn't find it in my in-box that's shamefully gone to 3 screens deep. If you live in the Chicagoland area and want to do some fun little indoor triathlons this winter/early spring, here's a few a friend told me about. I almost forgot about them because when I first got the email I couldn't run for 15 min yet and didn't want to be embarassed; now that I can I think I'll go for one.

Please note that I copied and pasted this info directly from an e-mail; I have no actual knowledge : )
