[Sept 9] Mainiac is BACK! -- 2016

[Brian Delacruz]

I'm sure the TRIDEXXer's that did the Mainiac just got the same email as I did this morning. If we haven't selected a late season race, we might want to consider the Maniac again!

Edit from Brian S: 

It official --> TRIDEXX will be targeting this event for our second primary triathlon race later in the season. 

We held off making this announcement because for a while it was uncertain whether the event would be happening in 2016, but fortunately the Kennebunk Beach Triathlon Club has decided to take over hosting and it's back on! 

Here's more from the website:

Race details:

400 yard ocean swim

15.1 mile bike

3.1 mile run

Two or three person teams

Same triathlon course

Divide up the legs as you want

2 mile out and back beach run

(on hard packed sand)

15.1 mile bike

3.1 mile run

Our Philosophy on this Race:

Fun and Accessible:  That is why the early registration fee is only $60.00 (including the processing fee from Run Sign Up)!  We challenge you to find another triathlon in New England for this price.  We also feel that multisport can be a bit intimidating to first-timers.  That is why we have an additional discount for first time triathletes and duathletes.  Contact the Race Director to get the coupon code by clicking HERE.

Are you a student?  If so, we have a discount for you.  Contact the Race Director to get the coupon code by clicking HERE.

Race Shirts:  We realize that not everyone wants another race shirt. For this reason, we are not including a race shirt with your registration (it helps us keep the registration fee so low). However; if a race has a kick-ass, really cool shirt, some athletes would want to buy it. We have that covered too... We have teamed-up with Brunswick, Maine based ATAYNE for a fully sublimated race shirt. This short sleeve shirt will be a red and black plaid shirt with the race logo on the front. As soon as we have artwork, we will post it here. We will make no profit on these shirts. The cost is $20, but they are worth every penny.

I signed up this morning - it was such a great event last year - very much looking forward to this year's. It would be great to have a good showing again.

  If anyone wants to do a relay and needs a cyclist, I am definitely interested.

Yes, definitely!!     

It's great to hear people are interested because we're making it official --> TRIDEXX will be targeting this event for our second primary triathlon race later in the season. We held off making this announcement because for a while it was uncertain whether the event would be happening in 2016, but fortunately the Kennebunk Beach Triathlon Club has decided to take over hosting and it's back on! 

I aim to be there (two weeks is enough time to recover from a 70.3, right?) and am very much looking forward to another great team experience!

Brian D, I'm going to edit your top post to indicate the above so I hope you don't mind!

I am excited to do this race again. It was so much fun last year with the large group of Tridexxers -- let's try to get a big group going again this year!
