Columbus Ohio Race Schedule

I'll take a look at some info I have at home and see what I can find out. Where in Ohio are you?

1/2 IM is too much for me right now. I'm new to this multisport thing, so I'm planning just duathalons this year, and tri's next.

Hmmmm. Check out www.fatrabbitracing.com and hfpracing.com, if you haven't done so already. The one at Alum Creek is the new Fat Rabbit race, maybe on August 6. There is also a new 1/2 east of Cleveland, but I can't remember its name (Greater Cleveland Triathlon, maybe?)
As for Little Smokies, I haven't had the pleasure of suffering it. I believe it is very hilly, though - a real challenge. Yes, you guys in Ohio have a cornucopia of fabulous races within a few hours of driving distance. Lucky buggers!!

Thanks HD and Bigskies. I'll check out both the sites.

As for you HD, good luck on the upcoming duathlons. I started as a duathlete, and in my humble opinion, they are more difficult than tris. Since swimming is mostly form over fitness, the swim becomes almost like a 'warmup' for many athletes. I ended up starting doing tris because I was tired of explaining what a duathlon was! The tough part was that I couldn't swim at all so it took some time before I got up to speed.

Good luck and press on!
