Why did we pick these races?
As a new team we thought it was important to steer people, particularly new to triathlon, to some of the well supported, well run, and safe races. Also we wanted to cover all the race distances from Sprint to Half-Ironman. Although we recognize that there are a lot more races that would fit this description, the ones that we did choose were chosen becuase they had challenging courses, good support, a good location and maybe just because the after-race party was good!
