"Off Brand" long course triathlon
After participating in my 5th 140.6, are there any event co.panies that do a decent job at a decent price point? It's not that I don't see the value in paying a bit extra, but creeping into the $1500 usd range is getting out of hand. Anyone have any secret races that don't break the bank? Maybe something better than asking a buddy to support you?
Yay Sports!

Lots of options here in BC if you're looking for "off brand" 70.3 though.
Sea to Summit triathlon in Maine/NH. Haven't done it but heard good things. Longer than a 1/2 but shorter than a full. The run is a hike up Mt. Washington in NH.
Toughman?
Starky posted this on Twitter. Quite timely.

I’d love to do a do-it-yourself Ironman at some point. Can’t get any cheaper than that.
@Brew_Tri you would fucking love BC.. Do yourself a favour and get yourself to the land of @kjrunnin .
Who wouldn't love BC? It's beautiful, and temperate (ish), with oceans, mountains, deserts, and rainforests. And wine. So much wine. Ale trails here, there and everywhere. There is nothing not to love about BC*
*unless you are trying to buy a home or wanting to leave your bike anywhere for 5s without having your eyes or ass upon it
@Aaron Webstey I noticed that Epic Dartmouth updated their Facebook logo today. (And announced their 2017 race again.) Is it alive again?
Whoa I have no idea! Will investigate
