IRO Sprints Report

The first night of IRO Sprints at the Cobra Lounge in Chicago was a huge success. Outside, snow lay fresh on the ground. Inside, fifty-four people raced and hundreds cheered. Check out these photos from Chris Dilts and Ed White.

There were some impressive results. Team Pegasus members Brandon, Hannah and BenVC all came out on top. Brandon and Hannah won the brackets, while Ben posted the fastest time of the night in his semi-final match up against Jeff Perkins of the Chicago Cuttin' Crew, and then came second to Brandon in the final. A Pegasus clean sweep. Proper order.

Remember, there are two more nights of this mayhem left, on the 15th and the 22nd of December. The fastest male and female of the series win a frame each! There are a bunch of other prizes too, so don't sleep.

Thanks again to Chris and Ed for their photos, and well done to Evan, Luke and the rest of the crew for putting on a great night.
