On race morning, I was fortunate enough to have race packet already in hand (thanks to a family member who lives in Chicago), so all I had to do was get my family fed, dressed and out the door. With the race starting at 8am, I was shooting for a 7-7:15ish departure, but was running a tad behind and ended up catching a cab to the race around 7:25am or so.
Thankfully traffic around the event area was minimal, and street closures weren’t so bad that our cab couldn’t get into the approximate area of the race start, so we had a seamless drop off and transition into the park where pre-race festivities were taking place. Overall the park was extremely jubilant, and we arrived just in time to hear the ever popular “Percolator” song that seems to be played non stop at this race … with a dancing crowd to accompany it…
