Subject: RE: Is anyone doing the Concord/Manchester Tri at Clough State Park? I've done this race three times - very fun! The swim isn't very far and the lake is warm and (mostly ) clear. The park is really gorgeous! The bike is hilly for the first half, then you cruise. Some rough pavement, but this may have been fixed recently. Trail run on fireroad, out and back, some shade. Cheeseburgers afterwards. A very family-focused race (there's a kids race, too ). The vibe is low-key and fun, as this is many folks' last tri o' the season. Capped to a small amount, too (400? 500? ) Transition very easy to navigate - last year it was wherever you wanted to put your bike. The bike course goes through some nice rural areas. |
