The GraniteMan triathlon is a small race held on Lake Winipesaukee in NH. The transition area happens to be less than a mile from a close family member’s home, and I’d like to do it one of these years. So off I went to investigate, only to find no website or information of any kind on how to sign up for this race. The best I could find was on the local Chamber of Commerce calendar - a number to call. I’ll get around to calling this number one of these days, but can anyone fill me in in the interim? Is it a sprint or Olympic? How does one sign up?
I think it is run by the town’s (Wolfboro’s?) Parks and Rec and is very old school…like you call and they USmail you a form and you US Mail it back with a couple weeks time lage between them. My partner does it every year and he has mentioned how it is always a bit of a concern that it is difficult to sign up and confirm your entry, since they have a limit and the process it is so paper & people -intensive. But he loves it and it sounds like a wonderful event.
My buddy does it every year, don’t know how to sign up but a few things about this race.
Wet suits are always prohibited (RDs rule)
There are a couple of very steep hills on teh bike and run.
Supposed to be a good race. Timberman actually would have been called Granite Man, but this race has been around for like 17 years, so it had dibs on the name.
