I am not racing it this year, but if you're looking for a race this weekend, I highly recommend Niantic Bay. It is very well-run, and the course is beautiful (bonus: the bike is as close to flat as you get in CT). Sign up at hartfordmarathon.com.

I agree, it is a good race.

However, although the bike is flat, there are A LOT of turns on the course so don't expect to set your PB on the bike for the distance there.

Best of luck to anyone that goes!

Turns and a fairly congested area, so, yep, no land speed records. Just wish it was a littel later in the summer, like last year.

I am doing this race as my first (so it will be a pb for me.) I am confused by the map of the run and heard from someone at registration today that it is pretty confusing. Since noone here who has run the race has mentioned it, I trust that in reality they have good marshalls and markings to direct you, especially since there is a circle you are first suppossed to to in one direction, then the other. This might be tricky for me since I expect to be at the back of the pack, and may not have another runner I can see to follow.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the good wishes. I really had a great time. I learned a lot too. When I get a chance I will post some sort of race report, but this was a good place to do a first triathlon.
