The family and I headed to Cohasset MA this past weekend for my first triathlon of the 2011 season.  The race was fittingly named, the Cohasset Triathlon.  We had a great weekend staying at the Nantasket Beach Resort, just 4 miles from the race venue in Cohasset.  We arrived Saturday morning, settled in, then checked out the race location.    Race check in was interesting in that Streamline Events, who put on the race, decided to go with tattoo race numbers this year.  So I took advantage of the assisted “tattooing” before heading out.  Check out my guns:)  Yeah, I’m a weakling….

Anyhow, after lunch I did an easy 1 hour spin, which included the bike course.  Realized the course was much easier than I had remembered from last year, so that was good.  Now back to the family for a nice relaxing evening.

Race Day: Got up at 6am after a decent nights sleep.  Had the family and gear ready to roll by 6:30.  Dropped of the Family and drove to the parking area which was about 1.5 miles from transition.  With my gear bag on my shoulders, I biked to transition while chatting with other racers along the way. » Read more: Cohasset Triathlon – Race Report
