I got a postcard today from TriAmerica.com / Sommer Sports, in Clermont, FL.

They are advertising a new distance - 2K swim, 60K bike, 15K run, with 3 races at this distance this year. The only race that’s already happened is the one in Clermont in mid-April. For those of us that aren’t strong runners this seems like a good distance. Did anyone here do the Clermont race back in April?

Its basically a 1.5xoly with a short swim - they should make the swim 2.25! Although the swim is a tad longer than a half IM swim - so at least thats something for the swimmers…

Not too far from the Phuket distance, 1.8/55/12. Must be worth a flight from your nice winter in the North to Phuket, a little further south than Hawaii.
