Sorry if this thread is already up I searched and did not find one.
  This will be my first Tri and wanted to get some input from any peeps out there who have done this and any comments on the individual parts of it.My anxiety is sky high as I know this is my 1st and as the saying goes just worry about finishing LOL I am too cometitive and should have started theese years ago.I am 44 and started training about 10 weeks ago and have improved in all aspects but I know it is going to be a struggle espescially the swim.

holly crap!! just checked the website for the race, wish it was on my list. The elite field is too cool for local talent. I have seen jarod Schomaker speak, and Karen Smyers twice. I have personaly met Dean Philips from FitWerx. Realy cool field. I would ventrure to guess if they are in attendance, it will be a well run race.

Do not mind me, I am kind of the ring leader for the Cranberry Ma contingent. It is a great race. Are you racing the sprint or oly? I will be there for both.

It is a brand new race, put on by the same RD as Cohasset.  I did Cohasset last year  - it was fun - and will be doing Gloucester!

I think the most important thing is to have fun. I am signed up for Cohasset, Gloucester and the Cranberry Olympic. Cohasset is a great race, did the bike relay last year, this year will be doing it solo, can't wait!!

I live in Medfield, MA...I may drive down Sat afternoon, not sure what Sat plans look like right now - my wife wants to see the movie "Hangover." 

I have spoken with Bill Burnett and I guess there are four pretty bad spots.  I want to drive the course to see how bad these are to determine if I need to run my training wheels or can run my Zipps.  You have my cell, give me a shout an hopefully we can catch up during the post race activities.  I am in the 35-41 Wave
