Reports and event feedback

  • Tri the Illini 2017: a returning club racer’s report ↗

    Martin Gruebele · 2017

    Martin praised the club’s organization and enjoyed racing with teammates. He described a pool swim, local-road bike course and campus run, with pizza and cold water at the finish.

    Historical participant account from a sponsored cycling-team member. The reported 300 m swim, 14.7-mile bike and 5 km run are not a standard Olympic course. This returning age-group winner’s experience does not establish current routes or services.

  • Tri the Illini 2023: a shortened bike course and long swim queue ↗

    Martin Gruebele · 2023

    Martin found the swim queue very long after a bike-course change required wider start gaps. He described crowded riding and frequent turnarounds, while the race motivated him to prepare his bike and return to competition.

    Historical participant account of a modified 2023 course, by the same cycling-team author as the 2017 report. He reports a very short repeated bike segment after a permit problem. Distances and conditions are not verified for the current edition; these reports are not independent athletes.
