I like running in the snow . . .

. . . but I'm ready for spring - taking Red Chief to the park, Thursday evening runs at the Mahomet trail, bike rides. Scouting triathlons: new one in Decatur, others at Springfield, Effingham, Mattoon. Several at Indianapolis, a great venue. Disappointed to see the "World's Largest Triathlon", the Accenture in Chicago, is up to $130. Cripes. With the cost of gas, hotel room, and meals, that's a load. I've had my best triathlons up there, but can't see going back at those prices.
