North Florida Races

I haven't raced a state of mind race yet, but DRC does put on a good race.  Crystal river is a good one.  Well run, nice course.  In Sept there's the Hammerhead Olympic Triathlon in Starke.  Good race too, last year they started a sprint distance as well.

Gainesville has a pretty well organized tri club and they make a pretty good showing at local races.

Put HITS on your calendar for next year.  It was this last weekend and it's turning into a great event.

I've heard good things about the Hammerhead race and that is definitely a close race, I think I will put that one on the list for sure.  I'm glad to hear the HITS race turned out well.  I read some pretty bad race reviews on a couple of their races from last year, which I think was their first year?  

Thanks for the heads up on the Gville tri club.  I met up with them a couple of times later in the summer last year but never really had a chance to get involved with the club or do any races last year.

2nd that. The North Florida Olympic by DRC in Madison is a very nice race. It's in May. I'll be too busy to go this year, but would if I had time.

The N Florida was my first race and DRC was great to me. I'm doing it again this year.

Hi fellow Gainesvillian! I have done several events in Clermont and really enjoyed them. They are chip timed and very weel organized. We also did the Bfast in Jacksonville and one in Dunedin. The one we did in Jax seemed to be more elite and it was an ocean swim, which I didn't like. (I prefer lake swims)

We are doing the tomoka triathlon in May. It's only in its second year but it looks like a good event and I'm curious how the swim will be in the Intercoastal.

There are not a lot of tri's really close by - you'll almost always have to travel some. That one in Ocala looks like it's a good one - you should plan that one for next year.
