Hey New York area Triathletes, which 2010 tri's are you doing?

I'm already registered for Mooseman 70.3 on 6/6 and Timberman 70.3 on 8/22. As filler races, Im considering a sprint waaaaaay up in Dutchess Country on May 23 and the Fronhofer Tool Olympic on 8/7. Im looking forward to the Fronhofer Tri....it reads to be a pretty course.

Last season I had a great experience at the Stamford Olympic....its the last weekend in June next year. Another fun but larger Olympic is the Westchester Tri towards the end of Sept. I think sign up for that is in March.

Any suggestions for an aquabike as training for timberman?

the only aquabike that I know of is the HealthNet tri/aquabike in Shelton, CT. Its on June 12th next year.

I am sure there are others in the area.

Thanks JonI'm hoping to find a HIM distance aquabike in July preferably, I'd travel a bit for it too. 
I checked out your blog, looks like you are having a great time with your P2. I'll have to try that 37 mile route one of these days.

The Musselman was made for you.

Yep Musselman looks like a go! Thanks.

I am doing American ZoFingen Long Course, Harryman Half, Ironclad, Mighty Montauk, IMLP, Toughman Half and Cedar Beach Sprint.
By the way, where is the Kleinerman 10K, I'd be interested in that race too.

Joe Kleinerman 10K is a NYRR race in Central Park. I'm pretty sure entries are closed now.
Joe was my boss and we treated each other like family. He was one of the founders of the NYRR in 1958, he was in the top 10 in Boston Marathon in the 1940's and devoted his life to running. I am very excited to be running a race in honor of him.

I'm planning to do the NYC tri and the Rev 3 Oly. I'll probably also do the LI Gold Coast Sprint and the Flat as a Pancake tri on Staten Island, and maybe a couple of others along the way. Ironclad might be a possibility.

In terms of other events, I'll do:
The Jackrabbit Indoor Tri in January or February
The Gridiron 4-miler on Super Bowl Sunday in CP
The Great Hudson River Swim in May

I'd like to do a century ride at some point, but I don't want to do either the NY Century or the early Montauk Century. That leaves the other Montauk Century in June or the North Fork Century.

Im scheduled to do:

Musselman Sprint Tri in July
North East Olympic Tri in August

Anyone done the Black Bear Tri in PA? It looks interesting.

I'm doing the Tinman and actually need your guy's help.  Any marathons in upstate NY/VT in late October timeframe?  I want to do a marathon but want enough time to recover from Tinman and then train for the marathon.

Why ever not??? North Fork is great, I did it twice and loved it! There's also one in NJ I would like to try, the Ramapo Rally. It's in August I think and has varying distances up to 125 miles.

I've heard good things about this race, a lot of BQs come out of it:http://www.clarencedemar.com/. But it's in NH and it's late Sept so not sure if it works with your schedule.

I'll do that one with you, but only if it's rainy and cold.

I have a sneaking suspicion we'll be doing the Montauk Century... we're sick like that

....Yeah. Me too. ("But it can't POSSIBLY be as bad as it was last year, right?" is what I'll probably tell myself right before I click "Submit" on the entry page.)

Thanks for the tip.  NH isn't that far away, but if I were going to do something that early in the fall, I'd just do a local marathon that's also held at the same time (Adirondack Distance Festival).  I was hoping for something in October or November.  I may put my name in for the NYC lottery and see if I get it.  It's held on 11/7 next year, which would be perfect.

You might want to check out the Wineglass marathon in Corning, NY.  http://www.wineglassmarathon.com/site4.aspx
I've never done it, but hear it's a great race.

Thanks Kelly!  Unfortunately Corning is six hours away from me.  I'm in Lake Placid.   Keep the ideas coming though, guys!  At the very least, this will be helpful for other New Yorkers.

Wow, I had not heard of the Ironclad Tri even though it's only a few miles from my house--guess I'll be doing that one this year! And they are right, the Long Island Sound is certainly "brisk," especially in May. Like 55 degrees...
