Regular  104  Hopewell, New Jersey |  Subject: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all goneOk, so I have been away from the boards for a while and away from the sport for about 18 months or so. I finished the inaugural Pococnos 70.3 as my first half IM and then got a little side tracked, a little tight with funds and a little burned out. I am back up and training now and looking at possible Half IM events for next year but the official M-DOT list for 70.3 is pretty thin in the Northeast no? I looked briefly at Raleigh for June1 but that would be a inaugural as well and I am not sure I am ready for that level of travel (we have a(nother) new born, well three month old). Any other ideas for Halfs for 2014 that maybe are not MDOT branded? I live in NJ but would travel by car a couple to a few hours away. Thanks gang! GPC |

Not a Coach 11473   Media, PA | Subject: RE: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all gone Shoreman in Port Republic, NJ Quakerman in Quakertown, PA Toughman in Croton-on-Hudson, NY Diamondman in Bear, DE Black Bear in Lehighton, PA Eagleman 70.3 in Cambridge, MD There are plenty of options if you are not constrained by m-dot events. Those are just a few I thought of quickly. |

Veteran 421 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all gone There's the Patriot Half in MA. Also, if you end up deciding you do want to do another M dot event, but would rather do a more established one, there's Timberman in NH. |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all gone It's too bad that the Poconos and Rhode Island 70.3's went away, but, if you do want to stick to IM-branded races, there's still Syracuse and Timberman which are both really good. |

Regular 104 Hopewell, New Jersey | Subject: RE: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all gone Fetcher99, thanks for the info on the Mercer Co one. That would be even better than the Poconos. I love the NJ State Tri but over the past couple of years, I have struggled in the heat, so I have not participated. I love the venue and the roads around that area a re so nice. Would be good to ahve the home field advantage there too. Do you know what company is putting the race on? Is it CGI? |

Extreme Veteran 809 Central New Jersey | Subject: RE: 70.3 in the Northeast? Where have they all gone Unfortunately I can't say at this time who is organizing it since it has not officially been announced. I only know about it because of some connections in the local police departments. |
