Westchester or Fairfield Counties?

the threads and treads people in Greenwich might have good leads-- they sponsor a ton of events, too, I am thinking about coming out east for the triathlon in sept

thanks. i've been there. didn't ask them that question though. thanks for the lead.

coming back east for the westchester tri? i am debating that vs. the montauk half the next week in october. haven't decided whether that is too lofty a goal for my first season. but if you have to do a half...that one seems like a good one since it's very flat out there...

no, it's the Greenwich Cup Tri, in Old Greenwich -- It's the first (and only!!) tri I have done and it was ten years +30 lbs ago...groan...

oh right. i was thinking of adding a few of the Greenwich events...the mile swim, the dualthlon in May, the Tour De Greenwich...

i don't know anything about the Greenwich Cup Tri. will have to look it up

looks like i'll have to reevaluate my schedule as i separated my shoulder snowboarding last week.

The Greenwich Tri is a fun event.  It's a challenging bike course with some good hills in it, and a few technical turns.  The run is tough because the last 1/2 mile is across the soft sand of the beach.

Westchester has a tri club of their own. look them up on the web. - also try local running / biking clubs

thanks for the suggestions. i am a member of the WCC and met a few people thru there. Westchester tri-cub is made up of mostly ironman distance people. seems to me Westchester needs their own official tri-club for all distances/abilities.

If you are looking to run, the Wolfpit Running Club in Ridgefield isn't too far from you. They run Satrudays and Sundays from 5-10 miles. There are enough people that there is usually someone going your distance/pace. http://www.wolfpitrunningclub.org/

There is also a masters swim program in Ridgefield and there are members from Katonah and Bedford Hills that make the drive. They swim MWF 5:45am - 6:45 am.

I'm still looking for a good cycling group in the area but I hear Bethel has one (probably too far for you).

Not exactly a true triathlon club, more like a do-it-yourself club.
