Hello fellow NCCers,
Luiz and I are in the process of signing up for this year's triathlons, and wanted to check in to see which events others are planning to attend so we can make some into team events. If anyone is on the fence about whether this will be the year they do their first triathlon - or would like to try one but maybe not do all the parts - we might also be able to help you find someone to do a relay with you. In July we may organize some sort of informal multisport event. Let us know if you want to join/help organize.
Here are our events so far:
June 9th Westfield Tri for Jimmy - a great first triathlon that is super nearby. This could be a good candidate for a team event, so let us know if you are registering.
June 16th -
Bare Hill Triathlon (maybe - this one is super fun and I know one or two other NCCers also did it last year).
June 22nd -
70.free - We did this with Casey last year and it was SUPER fun. I think the bike route must include one of the steepest hills around, but it is a lovely route through central MA from Hubbardston to the Quabbin and back. Also, it's free!
August 4th -
Greenfield Triathlon - both sprint and olympic distance options. Probably my favorite race last year.
We are also planning on organizing some group training sessions - let us know what you would be looking for in these in terms of times and composition.
Best Wishes
Grace and Luiz
