July/August 2006

• Four in the Fall
  Don't hang up your fuel belt just yet--if you missed registering for Chicago, we have four fall marathons you'll love.
• Witness to an Epic
  The guts. The glory. The staggeringly high DNF rate. Watch it all with this spectator's guide to the Midwest's only Ironman, Ford Ironman Wisconsin.
• Intro to Track Racing
  Okay, so the bike doesn't have brakes and it tires are super thin. But it's not as hard as you might think. Really.
• Kayak Wrangling
  The Chicago Kayak Club finds serenity in an urban hub (and almost loses their sanity doing it). That is, if you consider a wet exit in Lake Michigan sane to begin with.
• Going for their Goals
  Triathlon clinics train kids for the McDonald's Kids Triathlon. In the process, they learn about goals, ambition and acceptance.
• Clif Bar presents Athletes of the Month
  Girls on the Run and Reid Mumford become Chicago Athlete's prime choice this month. Sign up you, or a friend for our September pick.
