We are all looking forward to seeing familiar faces on Labor Day Weekend and we hope you are too!!!

Race directors have put together a Circle Tri 2011 information card which contains race logistics and helpful info.  If you have any questions please contact us through Facebook, our Blog, email, or call us directly at (603) 968-4411.

The allotted areas for racers and spectators have switched.  The transition area  is now across the street in the parking lot and spectators are on the marina side.  The running route has been modified and now comes across the Ashland dam.  To see photos of the new dam crossing, visit the Circle Tri Facebook page.

Interested in your race time from last year and how it stacks up against your competition?!  Head over to Circle Triathlon’s timing page and check your time!

The race can still use more volunteers so reach out to the race directors if you or anyone else may be interested in helping out.  Race directors can be contacted at circletri@circleprogram.org.

Fundraising is as easy as emails!  Just set up your active registration page, input some email addresses and your fundraising is done.  Head to the fundraising page to see how easy it is to make a difference in a girls life.

Larry’s favorite memories have to do with his team’s rivalry with the Pinehaven Team and his personal rivalry with Jack McCormack (seen pictured together).  This year Larry is feeling confident in his team and is looking forward to seeing how Team Zip’s newest member will play out in the swim.

So Larry, what is your advice to someone starting a Tri team?

“Find people that you would enjoy being part of a team with. Don’t worry about how well you do just worry about having a good time. At the same time, practice first. Just do it or it won’t be a fun experience.”

Larry wouldn’t change a thing about the Circle Triathlon. He believes that it always exceeds expectations and gets better every year. The only thing to hope for is good weather!

NEW THIS YEAR:  At 1.4 miles, (shortly before River Street) the course makes a sharp left onto a dirt path leading to a grassy section and a really cool dam crossing.  The dam has a few step conditions which will require one person crossings.  Adaptive athletes will require one assisted transition which race staff will provide.  This “off-road” section is very short (.1 miles) and connects directly to River Street for the remaining 1.2 miles of the running course. There will be several volunteers and a water station at the “off-road” section.

We see people training on the route all summer, it’s never too early to start! During the race, there is professional traffic control, clear signage, and event volunteers stationed throughout to make your race experience as fun and safe as possible.
