New Events

I'm not sure these are all new events, but since I have not heard of them before I thought I would share in case any of these fit your training/racing requirements as we draw closer to The Season.

Brief Description
2.5 Mile Run. Approximately 17 Mile Bike. 2.5 Mile Run. For those not doing the Fargo Marathon or Half-Marathon (like moi) you should consider this event. -- Please join us for our inaugural year and enjoy great ribs after the race, high quality t-shirt, and much more. So many of our great athletes for the Green Lake Tri have asked for an event like this so we’re off and running!

Looking for something out of the area? How 'bout even doing a double-du..sort of? And this one is not new as it will be enjoying its 9th year. Thanks Tim for the heads-up...this one, along with the event in Collge Station would have been a fun weekend.
