The Sullivan Triathlon is held at the Sullivan Civic Center, 600 N. Washington, Sullivan, IL 61951.
To get to the Civic Center once you are in Sullivan, turn North on Washington Street from Route 121 (Jackson Street). Washington Street is just 1 block away from McDonalds on Route 121. Washington Street runs directly into the Civic Center parking lot.
If you need specific directions getting to Sullivan, you can use Yahoo Maps, Google Maps, or Mapquest, (which have generally done a pretty good job of getting you here), or let me know and I will try to help you get here the easiest way.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF HOW TO GET TO SULLIVAN, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU LEAVE SUNDAY!
Sullivan is located 28 miles southeast of Decatur, 77 miles southeast of Bloomington, 59 miles southwest of Champaign, 40 miles north of Effingham, 67 miles southeast of Springfield, 145 miles northeast of St. Louis, and 190 miles southwest of Chicago.
If you are new to triathlons and this is your first race or if you have been doing it for years, we believe you will like our triathlon.
INEXPENSIVE & CONVENIENT
* We want you to be able to race without spending too much money. This allows new people to "tri" out a triathlon before spending a lot on their first experience.
* Our race will be on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. This allows you to travel to Sullivan without having to get a hotel room or get up too early in the morning to drive!
* Do you hate going to races in the middle of nowhere, without real bathrooms or showers? Hate having to use a Port-A-Potty? Hate driving home all sweaty and smelly?
We have real bathrooms and a locker room facility with showers!
EXPERIENCED TRIATHLETE?
* Get warmed up for the race season! Start your season early and get ready for your big races by participating in our smaller, more relaxed race!
NEW TRIATHLETE?
* If you are a new triathlete, this race shouldn't make you too nervous! We think triathlons are fun and we want you to have fun. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. I will answer all of your questions about our triathlon so you won't have to worry or feel any pressure. All of the triathletes that have been here the last couple of years are very friendly and will give you some good encouragement.
* Many first-time triathletes compete in our race! You won't be alone!
* The swim is an indoor heated pool! If you aren't a good swimmer, it's not a problem. You can even walk through most of the swim and there are lane lines to keep you from getting scared!
* Worried about the bike? Don't be! You don't need a fancy bike for our triathlon! Many people will be riding on bikes that don't cost a fortune. If it has two wheels and they go around when you pedal, you are set! Plus, since we are located in Central Illinois, there aren't too many hills.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
* Nice day outside? The Civic Center is adjacent to Wyman Park. Your family can picnic or play on the playground while they wait for you and watch you finish.
If you are a returning participant, the course is unchanged from the last couple of years.
SWIM COURSE: 1/4 Mile (Approximately 400 Meters or 440 Yards) The swim portion of the course will be held at the Sullivan Civic Center in the heated indoor swimming pool. Swimmers will start the swim in order from fastest swimmer to slowest swimmer (given that everybody has turned in an accurate swim estimate). You will swim up and back one lane, and then move over to the next lane. A diagram of the swim map can be found here.
TRANSITION 1: You will leave the pool through double doors, past the sundeck, and down to your bikes. You may change to your bike gear at your bike or you are free to leave your towel, clothes, helmet, etc. on the sundeck and change before you get to your bike. Bikes will be placed on racks on a "first come first served" basis. The bike racks will be located just a few feet from the road you will be starting on.
BIKE COURSE: 13.4 Miles There are only about 4 hills or so that take much work to get up, and they aren't very long. (but usually the wind is terrible, so wind + hills = lots of work!) This is the same route we have had the last 3 years.
On Route 121, there is a giant shoulder on the side of the road, that is almost as big as a regular lane.. We call it the "Amish Buggy Lane". You are welcome to ride on this shoulder (which is what I do). However, the shoulder of the road has gotten rougher the last couple of years. It is not nearly as smooth as the road. Some athletes prefer to ride in the amish buggy lane. I like it because it is safe and out of traffic. Other athletes perfer to ride on the road because it is smoother.
TRANSITION 2: The bike to run transition takes place in the same area as the swim to bike transition. Park your bike, take off through the Civic Center alley, and start the run.
RUN COURSE: 3.1 miles The run course will be held mostly in Tabor and Wyman Parks, and the course has been marked out to 3.1 miles to the exact foot. The run will have barricades and/or signs and markings at every turn. Tabor Park is a nature walking/jogging trail. Wyman Park is the City's main park. Click here to see the run profile (how many hills and how often). Click here for pictures of what the trail you will be running on looks like. The run will finish with a lap around Wyman Park and end beside the southern pavilions in Wyman Park. The post-race refreshments, music, and awards will all take place in the pavilions, which are located just north of the Civic Center.
Spin City Cycles Gift Cards will be given out to the following:
$100 - 1st Place Overall Male & Female
$75 -
2nd Place Overall Male & Female
$50 - 3rd Place Overall Male & Female
$20 for the winners of each division
Custom medals will be given out to the top 5 finishers in the following categories:
16 & under, 17-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60+
There is also a Clydesdale division (Men 200+ pounds) for Men 39 & younger, 40 & older, and an Athena Division (women 150+ pounds).
We will not have team divisions this year.
If you have a child that would like to participate, there is a 16 & Under division, or they can check out the Youth Triathlon put on by the Sullivan Blue Dolphins Swim Team (see tab below).
If you are unable to come (injury, change of plans, etc), please let me know ASAP, because we will have people on a waiting list to take your spot if you can't make it.

If you've been here the first 7 years of our race, you don't need help with the weather. But if you are new, here are a few tips...
It is usually very windy and many times cold and wet! And we will have the race in the rain/wind/sleet, etc!!! Two years ago it was actually hot, but don't expect that every year.
So be prepared! If it is cold/windy/wet, please remember to pack accordingly. After the swim you can dry off and keep extra clothes, jacket, etc. inside by the pool area or on the sun deck area. And don't forget that you may have to pedal hard into the wind on the bike!

*The Youth Triathlon is being managed and directed by the Blue Dolphins Swim Team. For questions or concerns regarding the Youth Triathlon, please contact their race director, Audrey Mosier at: triathlondirector@sullivanbluedolphins.com.
The easiest way to contact me is to email me at slowtriathlete@mchsi.com
If you want to call for questions or concerns, please contact Monte at 217-728-4541.
I will be more than happy to help you out in any way I can. I know first time triathletes are often nervous or don't know what to expect, and I want to help make your race as enjoyable as possible, so please let me know if I can help in any way.
If you have any pictures you would like to share, please let me know and I'll stick them on here.
Here are some pictures of our triathlon for 2008.
There have also been videos made of our triathlon. They were put on YouTube. This link should take you to them. If it doesn't, you can go to YouTube.com, and search Sullivan Triathlon, and they will come up!
Also, this doesn't have anything to do with OUR triathlon, but I thought this commercial was funny... they put it on YouTube as well. It's a Clif Bar commercial. This link should work, but if it doesn't, search YouTube and type in Triathlon Commercial!
Being a small town, there aren't a lot of options for hotels. We don't have any "Name Brand - Chain Name" Hotels in Sullivan.
Having the race later in the day, I am always hoping people can make it (for the most part) over without having to stay if they don't want to. But I know lots of people want to make a weekend of it anyways, or have kids in the youth race, etc. So I'll give you the options I know about here close to town, and let you know your best options that aren't close to here, either.
Below is a list of places from our Chamber of Commerce Website. I can't give good advice on some of the places listed below, because I've either 1) not stayed there or 2) not heard anything good/bad one way or another about them.
The Gateway Inn is the local hotel. It is a plain, basic hotel. I have never been in one of their rooms. A lot of people stay there when they have fishing tournaments at Lake Shelbyville by here. It is always packed on the weekends in the summer, so I can't imagine that it is too horrible of a place to stay. But if you are looking for somewhere FANCY to stay, or somewhere you've heard of before, this isn't it.
The Harrison Street Inn is an older 2 story house that our local optometrist turned into an Overnight place. I've been in 2 of their rooms before. They are pretty nice. It should be really clean. And I don't think it's too expensive, but I can't be sure of the price.
There are a lot of campgrounds around here because of the lake and the State Parks we have around here. I think some of the places listed below are campground-type places. But I don't know ANYTHING about any of the other places listed, so please don't take it out on me if you go there and don't like it!
The Okaw Valley Orchard Inn is probably 5-10 minutes away.
Other than those places listed below, the closest places that I'm aware of with REAL hotels are:
Mattoon, if coming from the East, off the Interstate. They are 18-25 minutes away, depending on which side of Mattoon you are on.
Tuscola, if coming from the Chicago Area (but Tuscola is still about 40 minutes away)
Effingham, if coming from the South (but that is 35-40 minutes away)
Decatur, if coming from the North-West (but that is 30-45 minutes away, depending on which side of Decatur you are coming from)

Will this race fill up? Do I need to regsiter early?
Can I get a refund of my entry fee?
Can I transfer my entry to somebody else if I can't make it to the race?
Why do I need to give you an estimated swim time?
Which age group or division will I be in?
What type of timing system do you use?
Should I bring my family to watch?
Where should I park? How soon should I show up for the race?
How does the transition aera work? Where do I put my bike?
No. We aren't sanctioned by USAT. There are a number of reasons for this, most of which you probably don't really care about. But if you want to discuss this more, I'd be happy to give you my thoughts on the matter...
Will this race fill up? Do I need to regsiter early?
We only allow 300 people to register, because we have a limited amount of room, and for safety reasons.
The last 2 years we've had to stop registration in March because we met our limit of 300... So you may want to think about registering before then, because there were an awful lot of people calling and begging to get in the race in April, and they missed out.
Can I get a refund of my entry fee?
This year we are not refunding entry fees for people that can't come. I used to be able to do this for injuries or other things that came up, but we have too many people registering now to handle refunds. If you register and are unable to come, see about transferring your entry to somebody else. (See below...)
Can I transfer my entry to somebody else if I can't make it to the race?
Yes. But let me know ASAP so we can get the registrations switched around. . So if you get hurt, plans change, etc, find somebody to take your spot if you'd like. And then LET ME KNOW that you are transferring your entry to them so I can get their forms and get them entered into the race.
Why do I need to give you an estimated swim time?
We swim in an indoor pool. We do a time-trial start. This means 1 person starts swimming, and 10 seconds (or so) later, somebody else starts swimming. We line up from fastest swim time to slowest swim time, so that slow people don't get in the way of faster people, and slower people don't get ran over by faster people. Please note that we ask for an estimated swim time for 400 meters. Most indoor pools are in yards. So 400 meters = 440 yards. If you time yourself in and indoor 25 yard pool, you need to do 9 laps (down and back is 1) instead of 8. If you time yourself doing 8 laps in a 25 yard pool, you will get stuck in front of faster swimmers. If you have no idea how fast your time in 400 meters is, just let me know, and I'll stick you in the middle of the pack.
We do a time-trial start. Everybody is ranked according to estimated swim times and given the appropriate bib # (see above). So the fastest submitted swim time is #1, and the slowest swimmer is #300. Athlete #1 starts the swim, and every 10 seconds (or so), another swimmer will start. We swim down and back in 1 lane, and then cross under to the next lane, and go down and back that lane. See our map of the pool swim for a picture. This may seem confusing right now, but it will all make sense when you get here and see how it works. You will defnintely have a chance to see everybody in front of you and how they do their swim. So follow their lead and you will be just fine. If things don't make sense when you get here and look at the pool, find me or another volunteer and we'll make sure you are all straight with how things go.
There is no water on the bike route. If you want water on the bike, please take a water bottle with you. There is a table with water when you enter the bike area after the swim, which is the same place you exit the transition area to start the run. There is also water about 1.5 miles into the run, and again 2 miles into the run.
Which age group or division will I be in?
We place you in your age group according to your age on race day. If you are a man and weigh 200+ pounds, you can decide to be in the Clydesdale division if you wish. This year we have a 39 & Younger Clydesdale division and a 40 & Older Clydesdale division. Also this year is an Athena divsion for women 150+ pounds. If you qualify by the above weights, you are not required to enter as a Clydesdale or Athena. You can race in your age group instead, if you wish.
Who knows?!?! We've had a couple of beautiful days and a couple of freezing/sleeting days. The end of April is a bad time to forecast weather! Be prepared for anything. Usually it is pretty windy. And it can be very cold. But it can also be warm and sunny. So pack for any conditions, even if the forecast tells you one thing. One year they said it was going to be 70 degrees and sunny, and it turned out 45 degrees with sleet/freezing rain.
What type of timing system do you use?
We hire Mattoon Beach Multisport to time our event with ChampionChip timing. We are able to give you swim time, T1 time, bike time, T2 time, and run time. (And obviously total time). The swim time includes the time it takes you to get outside and into the transition area.
Yes. Please let me know if you want to do this, and I'll pass your chip number on to Tony (our timer).
Should I bring my family to watch?
If they want to come, I'd let them! The swim is indoors (and it is usually crowded on the pool deck), but they can watch you swim the entire swim, unlike in the lake, where they just see a bunch of people take off at once and they have to wait for you to get out of the water to see you. The finish line is in the park, and the last mile of the run goes all the way around our park. So the kids can play and have fun while you are working hard on the bike and run. There are plenty of good cheering spots on our run route.
Where should I park? How soon should I show up for the race?
Parking can be an adventure, but not as bad as some races have it. We have a parking lot, but it isn't designed to hold the hundreds of cars that will be here. It is legal to park on most side roads around the Civic Center. There is also a smaller park a block away that you will be running through (Tabor Park, on Worth Sreet). It has some parking spots. The High School/Middle School/Elementary Schools are just a couple of blocks away, and there is tons of parking available there (just head North on Main Street). Please DON'T park around the park, though, because the run route goes around the road there.
Show up BEFORE 12:00, because we are shutting down the sign-in tables at that time, so we can get everything situated for the start. The earlier you show up the better. Bikes are placed in the transition area on an Early Bird Gets the Worm basis. No assigned bike racks! So the first person to place their bike where they want it gets that spot. If you show up later, you will be stuck with whatever spots are left. We will open the sign-in table at 10:00, but that doesn't mean you can't put your bike in the transition area before then. (Heck, you can put your bike in there on Wednesday if you want to, but I wouldn't count on it being there by Sunday!!!)
How does the transition area work? Where do I put my bike?
Like said above, you can put your bike on any rack you want, as long as you are respectful of other people's property. Don't squeeze people on the bike racks. There should be plenty of space for everybody to get a spot. We made extra bike racks last year and it shouldn't be too crowded if you don't make it crowded. Keep your family & friends out of the transition area, please. We don't want people in the way of athletes trying to race!
You will leave the transition area on the South-West side with your bike, and you will bike back in at the same location. You will leave the transition area on the North-East side (where you came in from the swim) for the run. Arrows and words will be spray painted on the ground, and there should be signs and volunteers (and spectators) guiding you to the correct place if you get lost. (But you really shouldn't get lost!)
What about hotels/lodging?
Please see the above Hotel & Lodging Information tab above
Yes, you must have fun. That's the rule. If you are new to triathlons and are nervous, please don't be! Even the top triathletes that come here are very supportive and friendly. I love hanging out with triathletes because everybody supports you and helps you with suggestions and everybody is so nice. Even if the weather is terrible, people seem to enjoy it because it is one more fun story to tell or one more thing they get to brag about (getting to bike in 45 degree sleet and 35 mph wind!!!). Although I'm predicting 74 degrees, sun, and 0 mph winds for 2010!

The course will be the same as 2009's race, for those of you who were here last year.
The first portion of the youth triathlon starts with the swimming. This will be at the Sullivan Civic Center pool. Long course athletes will start first (200 meters), then the short course athletes (100 meters).
Athletes will exit the pool areas through the main entrance of the Civic Center. There will be a marked runway to the bike transition area. Bikers will ride the outside perimeter of Wyman Park heading East and turn left on to North Worth Street. Then left onto East Park Drive, then another left onto North Main heading south. Athletes will then re-enter at the main park entrance. After last lap rides will return bikes to the bike transition area. You will continue this same course for the number of laps assigned to your race group's distance.
The long course is 4 laps (4.4 miles)
The short course is 2 laps (2.2 miles)
Both long and short courses start from the bike transition area. Once leaving the transition area, athletes will run the inner loop of Wyman Park.
The long course (1.2 miles) athletes will run out .8 miles to the turn-around point then back along the same path to the pavilion parking lot to the finish line.
The short course (.8 mile) athletes will run out .4 miles to their turn-around point then head back along the same path to the pavilion parking lot to the finish line.

Sullivan Blue Dolphins Youth Triathlon Rules and Regulations
Our goal is to ensure that all participants have fun and complete the SBD Triathlon safely.
No parents are allowed in the transition area at any time. Assisting children once the race has started may be cause for disqualification. Volunteers will be strategically placed throughout the course to assist athletes. This will help the triathlon run as safe as smooth as possible.
Complete the course:
Each athlete must complete the entire course that they registered to participate. Signage and volunteers are there to help them through the course.
Swim:
Any stroke is allowed during the swim portion. Athletes must touch each end of the pool / rope and complete the entire distance. Volunteers will be there to assist swimmers out of to the pool. Swimmers will enter the pool feet first. No Diving.
Transition:
Absolutely no bike riding in the transition area. Athletes may run or walk bikes through this area. Athletes are the only one allowed to set up their bike and equipment. Once the bike and equipment have been placed in the transition area they can not be removed until the finish of the race. Bikes are to be placed on the racks before and after leaving the transition area unless your bike height doesn’t allow you to reach the rack. If your bike doesn’t reach the rack, place your bike safely out of the path of other athletes. Upon completion of the race, a volunteer will open the transition area to remove equipment.
Bike:
Bike helmets must be worn and safely secured. Please stay to your right at all times unless passing. Pass only on the left and call out “on your left” to the person that you are going to pass to let them know what you’re doing. Part of the course is open to two-way traffic. Please watch for directions from Sullivan Police Officers and SBD Volunteers monitoring the course. Drafting is not allowed during any portion of the race.
Run:
Athletes may run or walk to complete the run section of the race.
Race numbers:
Numbers must be worn on the front and not under clothing. The number must be visible during the bike and run sections of the race.
· Good sportsmanship is a must. Any unsportsmanlike conduct by athletes or parents will result in disqualification.
We are hoping to post results from the 2010 event on Monday, April 27th, the day after the race.
