    @Brenda Rods, I am registered to race and hope to be fully recovered post meniscus surgery (3/23).

    Hi There,  Thanks Brenda.   I am doing Quassy as a training race-(week 11 training plan for IMLP.  Once we get rid of the snow I look forward to getting in some rides on the course.  I am hoping there is a pre ride course day organized by race organizers as was done in the past. However, I have not done this race for two years and am unsure if they still have pre rides.  I would be interested in doing a EN group ride!  

    Cheers,
    Michelle

    Looking forward to this pre IMLP conditioning race. Have had a few friends do the 70.3 and say “ this 70.3 will test you more than IMLP”. Going into the race knowing it will Ben challenging, but looking forward to the challenge.

    Is anyone planning on riding the Quassy course?
    I'd like to ride it but can't make the Pre ride date.

    @Brenda Ross  I will be doing the half.

    All note- Rev3 race director announced on April 26th some course changes to the Half distance.

    Slight change to the bike- route does not go all the way into Thomaston- avoiding the crossing of main roads. Instead, turns left/north off of rt 109 before town, onto a smaller road- Old Northfields Rd., then up to connect with Rt. 254/Northfield Rd.  Because it does not go all the way down into Thomaston, there's looks to be a bit less (200') of hill climbing. Total bike course will be 54.5 miles.

    Run course is a major change. The first big loop around the lake (that was relatively flat/rolling) is gone. Instead the loop that had been the 2nd half of the run course will be run twice. That's the loop that's all ups and downs- that now all need to be run twice.

    New maps are on the Rev3 site at  http://rev3tri.com/quassy/course-maps

    @Brenda Ross I’ll be racing Quassy again this year. 

    @Bill Schleining Thanks for the course update. Can’t say I’m very thrilled to hear about the run change...

    Very disappointed to hear about the run change.  This will be my third time doing the Quassy half and I thought it was already brutal.  Ugh!  I’m using it as a test race leading up to IMLP.  I look forward to seeing you all there.
