The local Boston area time trial circuit kicks off this Saturday with the Harpoon Indoor Time Trial to be held at the brewery in South Boston. First heat begins at 12:30pm with the elite field set to go off and duke it out over the 8K course at 9pm. Heavy hitters include 2009 Harpoon ITT Champion Cort Cramer, 2007 World Bike Messenger Champion Peter Bradshaw, and Robbie King to name a few. Following Harpoon, the Boston Triathlon Team Indoor Time Trial takes place on Feb 21. The ITT season concludes on March 20 at the Multisport World Conference and Expo. The popularity of these races continues to climb along with the growing popularity of the sport of triathlon. USA Triathlon membership has more than doubled since 2004. And to date, the Boston Triathlon Team ITT has only a few remaining slots open. If you haven't registered, get on the ball --- because as the temperature continues to drop outdoors, these races are heating up! And if you are looking for an adequate guage of improving fitness and power on the bike over the next few months, these races provide that opportunity as they fall approximately one month apart from each other; which will allow an athlete to put together a 3-4 week training block before retesting.
