Men's Health Urbanathlon: CHICAGO!!!!!

Hi, Chicago. I think you're pretty great.

I flew in to Chicago this morning to compete in the Men's Health Urbanathlon tomorrow with Nike Field Reporter. I was so excited to finally be in the windy city! Argo Tea across from my hotel drew me across the street before I could even check in. Luggage in tow, I exclaimed to the barista that this was the very first place I ever visited in Chicago! And then I realized he didn't care. :-P

With my Chicago-made soy pumpkin chai in hand I took about 40 minutes to explore the city.

After some exploring I met up with the rest of my relay team to head to packet pick-up!

Meet Gina. She's my spunky new friend and another relay team member!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the recap from this fun race! Nine miles of running and tons of obstacles... should be fun!

Do you get nervous before races?
