Anybody know of any particularly fast OD races on the east coast of the US in September? Preferably with an ITU sanction that a pro with very few ITU points could get into.
Strange request, but I need to qualify for an event in 2006 by the end of September 2005 and figure I should have a reserve race or two handy in case of early season injury/ crash/ sickness etc
Got these ITU races off the calendar at triathlon.org. Don’t know if the courses are fast. Am fairly certain there will be more than a few fast athletes participating.
2005 ITU Boston Pan American Cup Triathlon # Boston United States September 4, 2005
2005 ITU Pan American New York City Triathlon # New York United States July 10, 2005
Hope this helps…
Boston is fast. Pancake flat bike and run and usually attracts top pros.
Used to be called the Monster Challenge - check out monsterchallenge.org or bostontriathlon.org for results from previous years.

I think New York City July 10th is a fast course for the pros. They race after the age groupers on a closed bike & run course in Central Park. The swim is in the Hudson (with the current) and swim times are FAST.
