I'm a NY'er planning a Florida trip for late winter to the Tampa-Clearwater-St. Petersburg-Sarasota area. Can anyone recommend a Sprint-Oly tri or 10K- 1/2 Marathon on that time frame (late feb - mid march)? Thanks!

There's the Bay to Bay 12k from St. Pete Beach to St. Pete usually around March 15. Very nice, extremely well supported point to point race.

Gasparilla Marathon, Half, 15k, 5k on February 27-28 in downtown Tampa along the bay.

Not a lot of tri activity quite that early. There's the great escape in Clermont on March 7 and the Miami International on March 14, but both of those are a decent distance away. There will probably be a sprint or two that pop up between now and then.

For tri's use Trifind, not much showing right now for 2010.  They also have a section for run races but looks sparse knowing that winter IS running season in FL and all of our local races aren't on there.

Gasparilli is suppose to be a great run race.

Thanks, that's why I figured I'd ask locals, it is hard to find 2010 race info now.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
