Anybody interested in running a triathlon this year can check out the freshly updated NORSA calendar of potential events (a permanent link is also to your right -->).
Two races in which NORSA members have previously competed in, the Kinetic Sprint and the Sandman Sprint, have been moved to new weekends this year. The Kinetic Sprint has been moved back 2 weeks and is now held in May. The Sandman Sprint has been moved back 1 week and no longer interferes with the Nation's Triathlon.
On a sad note, the Yorktown Sprint, which has been a NORSA mainstay, has been cancelled. Setupevents offered the following explanation on their website:
"Yorktown Sprint: Many of you have noticed the Yorktown Sprint is no longer happening. The Yorktown Council changed their permitting procedures to give them the ability to only allow events that fit with their vision of the Yorktown waterfront area. Unfortunately, despite the tremendous success of the Yorktown Triathlon it no longer fit with their vision." [http://www.setupevents.com/?fuseaction=events&series=vts]

The warmer water for the Kinetic are going to be key.
I know there's a large pack signed up for the Nation's, so if anyone wants to join NORSA's largest event, they should sign up soon.
The Sandman is my favorite triathlon. The most bad-ass swim and the fastest bike course of any race I've done. I'm hesitant to commit to it since it's only a week after the Nation's, but if someone else is interested in doing it as well, I'll eagerly sign up. Registration doesn't open until April anyways.
yeah - and kinetic no longer overlaps w/ my school schedule
