K,

Sept 23 there is a half ironman in Washington, CT which is about an
hour and a
half from NY and 2 hours from Boston - I didn't check the other races that we
are set on so I don't know if the date interferes, but I thought id just throw
that out there. Also, inthe past few years there has been an olympic distance
in danbury ct which is a nice course, but it isn't coming up yet for
2007. I'll check out some more for the Boston area - The first one I
ever did was
called "Plymouth Triathlon" or something like that and it was a nice course -
1/2 mi swim, 12 bike, 4 run. I'll let you know more soon.

C
