Agreed, Winston-Salem, the epicenter of the world triathlon scene!!! I love it here!

The best place I have ever raced is Roth Germany (5 times). Hard to beat the fans on the course.

Roth is awesome but so is Penticton and for a race series for the beginner to hardcore age grouper you can't beat the Trisport series in Ontario for competitive races every other weekend from May until September.

In practical terms, the best place to race and train would be the same places that are most appropriate for golf.

Quite simply, those places are where it rains very little, sun shines a lot and the temperature is warm. This equates to more time to train outside and/or have a longer triathlon season.

Those places would be desert regions along (or least close to) the equator. In the US, that would be the Desert S.W.

FWIW Joe Moya

IMO opinion the best place to race would also have great scuba diving, which is what I would do the day after the race. For the swim I could also do a bit of snorkelling along the way. If only I was good enough to qualify for Hawaii!

I absolutely agree. I have had the privilege of participating in Penticton 4 times. fantastic place and fantastic people!
