TIMBERMAN NAMED #1 “MUST-DO TRIATHLON ADVENTURE”

According to Triathlete Magazine (March 2006), racing the Timberman Triathlon in Gilford, New Hampshire is the number one “must-do triathlon adventure”. Why? Besides offering two world-class race events, a short-course triathlon and 70.3 triathlon (as well as the TimberKids Youth triathlon), Timberman has “the best post-race feast and party”. As T.J. Murphy of Triathlete suggests, you can “sit on the hillside, listen to live music and watch the stars come out”. This year Timberman joins the Ford Ironman 70.3 World Championship qualifying series, offering 100 slots to its top finishers. For those triathletes looking for more than just a personal record, Timberman goes the distance with an entire weekend of events and activities, including the “Timberkids” youth triathlon at Gunstock Recreation Area. Couple this with the race backdrop of clear, blue Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains, and you have a ‘must-do triathlon adventure’.

Several professional triathletes agree, and have already committed to racing Timberman again this year. Sarah Reinertsen, the first female amputee to finish the Hawaii Ironman, will also be making her debut at the 2006 Timberman 70.3. She’ll be joined by her brother, Peter Reinertsen.
