SoBe Mossman Triathlon : Official Thread

I used to live in East Norwalk.  Got Priced out and had to move to South Norwalk.....That's a story.

Played a lot of hoops at Calf Pasture in my 20's.  Good times.

The swim is staged right there at the Park's beach?

Might be a fun time to visit the old stomping grounds

Just registered to do this race.  I would love to get some OWS practice in if anyone is planning them please let me know!

Thanks!

Flapjack,  yes, the entire race revolves around Calf Pasture Beach.

I will be doing OWS at the beach, that is where i do most of my swim training, should be warm enough mid May or so, i will be sure to let everyone know what my schedule is in case they want to join.

I am thinking of signing up for this, it would be my 2nd ever Tri.  My first is this weekend, the Y-Tri in Milford.

Is this a decent race for beginners with limited open water swim experience?   Thanks for any input!

the short answer is yes.

the swim has been with the current the last couple of years

10      Low   1:40 AM     0.2   
10     High   7:34 AM     6.8   
10      Low   1:50 PM     0.4
10     High   8:00 PM     8.1 

that is the tide chart, which says high tide ends 7:34am so we will be swimming with a slight incoming or slack tide.should be a fast swim, we will do open water swims there in the weeks prior if you are interested, i will post here when they are.

bike has one hill, run is flat, great race for a first timer, no doubt.

SOLD OUT, I had to get a charity slot, since i procrastinated so much!!  LOL

Thinking of doing this as my first Tri.  Is there anything more to the 'Charity Slot' other than paying an extra $50? 

Thanks!

Nope, other than the $50 i believe goes directly to the charity the race supports, which i'm pretty sure is Save the Children.

Great first race for a first Tri, very fan and racer friendly. I would not say that if it were not true, tri-team non-withstanding.

Looking forward to this race!!!

Rudy!!! I need to try out my wetsuit before the race (never raced with a wetsuit before!).  Let me know if you're doing some OWS this w/e. 

Hope to see you all out there. Train hard!

Tuffli, i should be, i will let you know when i will be there!!!

Looking forward to meeting you IRL!!!
