For those of you planning to race the popular Mrs. T's Chicago Triathlon (August 25), please note that there are only 1,600 slots remaining for the race. That might sound like plenty of room, but the race accepts  more than 6,300 people, meaning it's already over two-thirds full.
 
Registration for the race opened in mid-January and is expected to fill sometime in early April, 30-45 days earlier than it did last year.
 
The race is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.  To celebrate 20 years of successful racing, the prize purse has been expanded from $40,000 to $50,000, the pro awards have been moved to right after the finish of the pro race, and more food and a new beer will be offered at the post-race party.
