Nantucket Triathlon

by Cape Cod Resorts

This year, the Nantucket Triathlon takes place in July. July 23rd, 2011 to be exact. If you love a challenge, the Nantucket Triathlon is right up your alley. I’m an endurance runner, so I understand the excitement of a race – but I’ve yet to do a triathlon yet! Maybe one year – I’m more the half marathon type of person.

Packet pickup is on Friday from 4-7. You can see a complete schedule and timeline here at the official website of the Nantucket Triathlon.

Are you ready to get moving?

The Nantucket Whaling museum started as a candle shop back in the 1800′s, but in 1929 – it was transformed into a whaling museum. Whaling ended in the 1860′s, and now this Nantucket whaling museum has been in tact for over seventy years sharing the history of whaling. It got a fresh update in 2005.

Be sure to visit the rooftop observation deck, or the giant sperm whale skeleton.
