News from the organizers of the New England Triathlon Tour…first: Falmouth Tri will sell out within 2 weeks; second: 3-race packages for the 2013 season were sold out but they’ve opened up 30 additionals. It’s the only way to get a discount on race fees at this point.

This weekend’s triathlon team workout will be Sunday at 10am. Because of the forecasted 46-degree weather the “official” workout will just be a 45-minute run…..HOWEVER those who wish can bring their bikes for a 20-mile ride (slow group) or 25-mile ride (faster group) immediately after. Meet at the site of the Long Pond Triathlons (town beach off Crowell’s Bog Rd, a quarter mile from 124) in Brewster at 10am (run), 11am (bike).

Two new races have been announced for June 30, both located in Fairlee Vt and run by one of our familiar race production companies: Sun Multisports.  At this beautiful venue, one race will be at the 70.3 distance; the other at the Olympic distance. Cape Cod Triathlon Team members can take advantage of a $25 discount. Contact a team leader for details.
