Subject: 2009 Race Schedule...HELP!!!
I am racing a 50mile Ultramarthon in April (10-12th) 2009, I would like to do Nutmegman 1/2 (September 20th, 2009). I am torn if I want to race IMKY or do Mooseman (1/2) in June and Beach to Battleship (1/2) in November 2009.

So choices are

1) Ultra, IMKY, maybe Nutmegman
2) Ultra, Mooseman, Nutmegman, and maybe B2B
3) ?

The conundrum is this, I honestly am not sure if I can get in enough long rides to truly be ready for IMKY. The distance really does not intimidate meet, as much as my lack of long bike rides. I also enjoy ocean swims, and like my wetsuit (DeSoto), so in that respect IMKY is a bit of a turnoff.

Advice?

Option #2.  I never like being too far from the ocean.  You live in groton so if you feel the need to swim among warships you can jump off the EB pier.  Seriously: i have no idea and no ability to offer useful help.

They just freshly paved the roads on the bike course for the Mooseman.
Can't you do Ultra (April), Mooseman (June) and IMKY (Aug) and then B2B (in Nov if your legs haven't fallen off yet).
