EDITOR’S
NOTE
The Racing Industry is a Humble Abode
TO ALL CHICAGO ATHLETE READERS:
In my introductory editor’s note, I mentioned that I did cross country and track and field
in high school, and I absolutely loved it. However, I did not run competitively in college, and while I thought the nearby bike paths
fulfilled my hobby, I did not realize how much I actually missed the race atmosphere.
Already in the time I’ve been Editor at Chicago Athlete, I’ve attended three races, and whether I’ve ran or just took pictures, I had a
blast. Each race had its own energy, but all of it was optimistic and motivational; as race season continues to pick up speed, I look
forward to all of the other races I’ll get to attend.
I’ve also had the opportunity to work on the set of a photo shoot with a professional triathlete model who is on this issue’s cover (look
on our website to read about that experience) and also interviewed an Olympic triathlete. Both of these athletes spoke with such
passion, and were very friendly, making my overall perception of athletes a positive one.
Aside from the great experiences I’ve had already, I’ve also met some other people in the industry who have been nothing but
welcoming. I went to the CARA office downtown and met those behind the scenes there (feature story on page 34), and I met some
of the leaders behind the Bank of America Chicago Marathon at a company Cubs game. I’ve also received a plethora of emails
and calls from various companies, such as Dick Pond Athletics, Fleet Feet, and TriRight Coaching, congratulating me on the new
position and hoping to form strong relationships.
While I shouldn’t be surprised by the graciousness of everyone I’ve met, I truly am; obviously as a newbie in the industry, I expected
people to be helpful, but I did not expect them to be as excited about my new job as I am.
I am quickly learning about this niche industry, and everything I learn makes me love it more – it’s a world in itself, a world I can’t wait
to continue to explore. And as I sit here and write this note on my one-month anniversary as Editor in Chief, I could not feel more at
home, all thanks to you!
I just can’t wait
to keep exploring.

RUN THE DRIVE
The 20th Annual Chicago
Half Marathon & 5K provides an experience
unlike any other. With the Chicago skyline as
its backdrop, this iconic, flat and fast course is
rooted in history. Athletes depart from Jackson
Park - site of the the 1893 Columbian Exposition,
past the Museum of Science & Industry and
onto the expansive Lake Shore Drive before
earning a finisher medal worthy of Chicago’s big
shoulders. Don’t miss this tradition.
