Cycle 3, Cutback Week
Did I use this same Bon Jovi meme for Week 9 last year? I sure did. Will I use it again next year? Probably. Will it get old? Most definitely.
Notable Path Events
Air & Water Show - due to the mayhem that develops around the North Ave. bridge and Castaways, we are moving the water stop to the south end of the Lincoln Park Lagoon (same as previous years). Be sure to take the alternate route, as well, where we bypass the North Ave bridge by going around the softball fields, under La Salle Dr, then around to the Lake Short Dr underpass behind the Chess Pavilion.
Weather, Water Stops, & Turnarounds
☀️ sunny, 60°F with humidity in the 70%s; makes for some beautiful running weather
🚰 Waveland, Diversey, North Ave./Lagoon, Monroe, and Montrose
🏃Novice: 10 miles (a little past the North Ave./Lagoon water stop)
🏃Intermediate: 13 (fountain just after the Chicago River bridge🌉)
🏃Advanced: 14 (Monroe water stop🚰)
Other Items
Chicago Triathlon weekend is in two weeks, August 24th. Parking restrictions will be in place, so plan for more time in the morning. I will be sure to announce it next Saturday to the full group. Reminders from you will also be helpful.
Ready2Run Registration is open. There’s no charge for group leaders or training program participants, but you do need to register. Check your email for information. There are separate forms for GLs and for participants, so please make sure you use the correct one.
RushPT continues to be on-site; please remind runners that Stephanie is available for questions and evals as part of CARA’s partnership with them.
And that’s all I have for this week. See you, tomorrow!
