With its convenient border location, Massachusetts State Triathlon will  serve as the Best of the U.S. Qualifier this year for the state of New Hampshire, as well as Massachusetts.

Four thousand acres of forest with three habitat types—oak/hickory, northern hardwood, and pine, each with their own diversity of wildflowers and birds; the cool, clean waters and sandy beach of Lake Dennison...what an ideal setting for a triathlon. Now in its fifth year, Massachusetts State Triathlon has a well-earned reputation for sensory delight, meticulous race management, and tough competition. What an environment for the best New Hampshire triathletes to earn slots for the Best of the U.S. Championship. Last year's overall winner was John Babcock; John is from Connecticut, but to give you a perspective, he raced to 6th place at the National Championship.

So pass the word, and be sure to send a powerful New Hampshire contingent to the Qualifier, and on to the National Championship.
