Subject: Winding Trails Sunday Sept 14th

Is there anyone doing this tri that is coming up in September? I believe it’s considered a “beginner women’s tri”.

This will be my first tri and I'm pretty excited even though I’m not sure my body is completely ready for it. At this point I'm just hoping I finish and do not die in the process  

I’ve been reading some threads about past races here and it looks like they have given you the option to do either road or trails for the bike portion--does anyone know if in this event you are given a choice?

It looks to me as if only the road is an option for this race….

Hi there!

Welcome to BT!— looks like you are relatively new here…

I did this event last year and am signed up to do it this year too.

The bike portion is out on the road and you DO NOT have an option to ride the trail. Everyone rides the same bike course and as its somewhat beginner oriented and all women, there will be a mix of bikes from tri to mountain! 

You'll have a lot of fun and find the atmosphere to be very supportive and friendly!

Good luck and have fun!

I'm really excited to do this race as it will be my second race (first one is this weekend).  I'm looking forward to meeting CT BTers and work on my mistakes that I'm sure I'll make in my upcoming first race.  Any feedback on the run?  I've heard that it's a little trickier since it's on a trail.  Thanks!

Do not confuse the Women's Tri Sept 14th organised by the Hartford Marathon organisation with the Summer Tri Series organised by Winding Trails.

The Sept 14th Women's Tri DOES NOT RIDE ON THE TRAILS. The bike route is out on the road as the earlier poster noted. (The bike route map is posted on the race website - http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/Assets/Foundation+Events/Maps+-+Eve... The course adds a section to last year's route that was eliminated due to roadworks so the route is a couple miles longer than last year but still very do-able at 12 miles.) There will be all kinds of bikes there.

The run IS on the trails.

This is a great race for all women into triathlon, it runs the gamut from first-timers to more experienced racers. Nice feel, vibe and postrace.
