Dawn Swimmers

I did the Chicago tri this morning - the "sprint" version.

It's the "world's largest" triathlon - in terms of the number of competitors. It takes a long time to get everyone started.

Here is a Chicago Tribune photo of a crack-of-dawn "wave":


I started a full hour after this. And a lot of competitors didn't start their swim until HOURS AFTER ME.

That's a long time to be waiting around
but at least no one drowned.
