Recommendation for 70.3 - Triathlon Week

xcool · 09-15-2007, 08:25 PM

Just finished my first Olympic Distance Tri this year. I'm thinking about going for 70.3 next year. Can anyone recommendation a good one around the Northeast US? Will also consider Florida, California, or Hawaii.

Thanks very much.

Congrats on your first race!

EagleMan came to mind when you said in the Northeast, it's a 70.3 race, I have always heard good things about this race. The good thing about this race is that it's in June, giving you more time to train outdoors versus trying to train for something like California or Florida which are earlier in the year. I did the Florida 70.3 race last year, nice race, it was a bit hot on the run. There is a new 70.3 race north of the border in Ontario, Ironman 70.3 Muskoka.

Here is a map of triathlons in your neck of the woods, you can find other non-70.3 races. Use the filter options to narrow the search down.
