Slowtwitchers -
I just wanted to keep you apprised of an awesome new event in the triathlon community this coming October.
'Kancman' features a metric mile swim in picturesque Echo Lake, a 150k sufferfest on the bike over four mountain passes (the Kanc, Bear Notch, Kinsman Notch and Crawford Notch), and wraps up with a rolling 10k through Franconia Notch. The bike-heavy event is designed for athletes looking to cap off their season with something challenging, or for athletes to help prepare for a late season full or half distance race.
Please note that this is an unsanctioned, unofficial, and underground 'event' amongst friends. There will be no officials, no signs, no marshals, no road closures, and no liability. Race organizers accept no responsibility for anything that happens before, during, or after the race (bear attacks, moose attacks, zombie attacks, etc). This is a glorified training day, and as such, there are no aid stations, no support vehicles and minimal signs. As with any training scenario, organizers encourage participants to use the buddy system, since there will be no one on the course checking on you. You don't have to hold hands, but it would be good to have someone near you in the event that something happens. We’d like to cap the field at about 50 athletes to ensure we don’t overwhelm the course or the beer supply.
Speaking of beer supply... Race entry is FREE, but donations will be accepted to supplement the bountiful prize purse we’re offering:
1st place: Case of Harpoon Octoberfest
2nd place: 12-pack of Harpoon Octobefest
3rd place: Six-pack of Harpoon Octoberfest
4th through 50th: Octoberfest!!
DFL: Case of Michelob Ultra Raspberry Pomegranate ‘Beer’ (yes this is a thing).
