Dear CATS,
wondering if anyone has done cats sprint tri's on tuesday nights i would like to get a little more information on the race. My parents live in wilton, ct and will be visiting them in late july and early august and want to do one of the races. If you could give me some of the details that would be great.

I moved from Connecticut about three years ago, but I use to do them almost every week during the summers. I highly recommend them. I figured that doing a sprint race once a week ensured that I’d get at least one hard workout in that week. Great camaraderie, and they use to have beer afterwards! In fact, the series was unofficially sponsored by a liquor store and prizes ranged from bottles of wine to Cuervo Gold to promotional clothing items. Entry fee was next to nothing.
Ok here’s the info I have, let me know if you have any questions.
1)Tuesday nights, 6:00 CATS/Farmington Weekly Summer Tri Series, Located at Batterson Park, in Farmington, CT. 0.25m/7.2m/5k. Cost $20, www.catstri.com
2)Tuesday nights, 6:15 Winding Trails Weekly Off-Road Tri, Located at Winding Trails, Farmington, CT. 0.25m/8k/5k. Cost $12 (5 to get in the park and 7 to do the tri). http://www.windingtrails.com/news-summer/news03-tri.html. Also has kayak option in lieu of swim.
3)Thursday nights (every other week), Lake Terramuggus Tri Series, Located at Blish Park, Marlbourough, CT. 0.25m/11.5m/5k.http://www.pigironsports.com/TriTeam.htm.
the series is still going on. its a tough little course but great for training.
what ‘trifink’ is not telling you is that he didnt lose a race in CT the whole time he lived here, so its much easier for the rest of us to win races now
