So I (with some inspiration from a teamate) have decided that I want to do a race in every state by the time I'm 50.  I'm graduating from college this spring and want to get started this summer as a bit of post-graduate fun. 

So, what are your favorite races (Olympics and Sprints. MAYBE a HIM) and where are they??

Thanks everyone!

Dave

For Maine I'd recommend Lobsterman.  Can you beat a Lobster/beer combo as part of a post-race celebration?  I think not.

My suggestion is to run sprints.  You could do 2/weekend in neighboring states.

Soooo many here to choose from (NC).

From the title, 50 by 50, I thought you were going to tell us a tale about doing 50 x 50y on :30 swim intervals.
