new HIM

Wow, this is interesting for sure...I mean..what are the odds they'd do something like this in, of all places, QUASSY???  I'll keep my eye on this...although it's probably too close to IMLP for me...that course was tough for Griskus...good for fans of hills!

this is the same weekend as Mooseman...could be a tough call...

I fear first year races put on by unknown race production companies!

I just did an inaugural 70.3 event in NJ this weekend and I too will forever fear first time events. Putting on a 70.3 race takes great care and it has to be done right or it can really fall short.

Mooseman was my first and second HIM. Jerseyman my 3rd (yesterday). I have to say that I am spoiled by the great event management done by the Mooseman RDs.

Racers beware! 

true!

I guess if pros are doing it, there a good chance it'll be well organized. Weighing it against Mooseman as my tuner for LP. Like the idea of not having to make that long trip to NH again and getting a different race under my belt. But, like that I know what to expect with the Moose... 

Take a look here for reviews of the course:

Thanks for posting that Kelly.

I think I will be skipping this one.

Hey guys.

Sorry for being an "absentee" BTer for the last few months.  In reference to this race, I'll actually be posting an interview I just did with Heather Gollnick within the next week at www.gotrimax.com.  She goes into pretty good detail about the race, the race's amenities and why they chose Quassy.

Also, her husband was just up here last week to do some videotaping of the course to put on the website.  Regardless of the cost or the pros already committed, this will be a killer race with at least 5000 feet of climbing.  So, get used to the little ring and start hitting the weight room this winter!
