Interesting, my daughter goes to SLO so I get up to the Central Coast often. Interesting place for a race, the water there seems a little Sharkey but nice riding and running, have they announced any details for the race?
The swim will be in the harbor. You’ll die from cancer before you die from a shark attack.
There was another thread earlier last week about this.
^ it’s a good point, and probably true.
I wish they’d add another California 140.6, it’s silly that texas has 3 and cali has 1

Wow that sounds like a dream race. Did not know that used to exist

Kind of doomed from the start. First year had temps in the 30’s, snowed the day before the race, I think the second year got cancelled at the swim start due to smoke from a nearby fire, and 3rd year I think went off as normal (may have gotten the 2nd/3rd years mixed up).
Family has a place in Truckee off the bike course, really hope IM brings it back one day, there’s a FB page dedicated to bringing it back.
Meanwhile the entire northeast has 0 Full and only 2 half’s.
Closest fulls are LP, Tremblant, Maryland)…
Just saying Ironman Cape Cod would be awesome as a point to point race, but logistically and lodging wise impossible

TX has two IM races. The Woodlands and Waco. You might be counting Tulsa as well which is in Oklahoma.

Ha so I am thanks for setting me straight. My north texas bias is showing by claiming Tulsa or maybe I was thinking 70.3s in texas (Waco, Galveston, Lubbock).

We do have IMLP in the northeast, at least for a few more years if I understand correctly.
But I’d love some other options as well. I would go to Cape Cod for an IM. Haven’t been there in years but I know it’s extremely busy in the summer. Maybe have it in early September? Or what about Martha’s Vinyard. Not sure if it could support an IM event but it’s so nice out there and I’d sign up for one in MV or even Nantucket. (full or half). Might need to limit participation on the islands.
I would sign up for Tahoe if it ever comes back.
Us redsox fans have kicked NY out of the northeast and into the mid Atlantic lol
would love to see 70.3 ct or 70.3 ri make a return

I don’t follow ball sports. But agree another 70.3 in CT would be great. And I’d drive to RI as well to do a 70.3
I would happily drive anywhere in the Northeast to do an event. Flying these days does not look good.

As a former upstate and eventually downstate NYer who also spent some time in CT I’ll agree NY is apart of the northeast but definitely not apart of New England.
I too was upset at the ironman offerings when I lived in those locations.
That being said I always like to tel people about the summer Lake Terramuggus triathlon series. Amazing location in CT and very well run. They do weeknight sprints and an end of season Olympic.
Sadly I never got to do ironman 70.3 CT or Musselman
Yes agree, NY is definitely not part of New England.

Final year - or maybe 2014 and 15? - they had to change the bike course because homeowners didn’t want it going through their private road in Martis Creek. The race would’ve had a better chance of surviving if it was in July. But I think the real issue was just the course difficulty. A lot of people say they want a tough course, but the signups say otherwise.
Did you just take a picture of your phone with another phone?
