Well I decided to go ahead and join just about everybody I train with and nut up and become a member of the Chicago Tri Club. So yeah, I'm like, officially a triathlete now and shit. I'm digging those monthly meetings that involve a happy hour (that's carb loading right).
I'm still a Chicago Blue Dolphin. In fact most members of the tri club are also Dolphins. The Tri Club has the added perks of having mad discounts like everywhere and having a bigger network of training/riders.
