Hi KLiz, im the race director for the Pat Griskus Triathlons also out of Quassy we'll run a 15th anniversary Oly Tri/Du/Sprint <* sprint opt is new this year*< Tri on Sat 7am June 18th,
and
the 30th anniversary for the original Pat Griskus Sprint Tri on a Wed Evening July 6th 2016 -- 6pm start! Mid week evening start.. crazy right?? The Sprint would regularly close out a few weeks in advance! It's a great crowd, bunch of repeat athletes, fun vibe!
As for 70.3/Half Iron, I worked with the original race director for Timberman back in 2001 to 2010, raced it a few times myself. New Hampshire has hills, some fierce mountains in fact, but Timberman is not that terribly hilly at all. And that lake inspires all who even dunk a foot in it. That water is so clear that any particle of anything floating in it is immediately obvious. Ellecoya State Park is a special place on Lake Winnipesaukee, and I've spent lots of time there, racing and working. Just a gorgeous lake. It's still very well run and you can wait a bit to register as of last year, but I understand things are moving along more briskly this year. Highly recommended, special venue and a great race!
I also produce the Hopkins Vineyard Triathlon at Lake Waramaug, we throw together some group training days up at Lake Waramaug, hit me up for details if you're out this way
(far western CT, New Preston
) Nothing better than starting and finishing at a Winery!
Very unique venue, and
a beautiful family that has allowed us to do this. Totally chill with live folk music and a wine festival at the end, that one is Sat July 16th, 8am start.
Best of luck this season KLiz, hope the preps are going well!! - tw
Regards,
Tom Wilkas - Race Director
