In November, HeartZones sent out a newsletter saying Sally Edwards/HeartZones was joining with Trek to sponsor a new race series - http://www.trektriathlon.com/

Apparently Danskin is going to continue running their own races, too, and the Trek races will follow the same formula (looks like almost the same cities, even).

Here's the newsletter - http://www.heartzones.com/newsletter/November-2008.html

And a press release - http://www.bicycleretailer.com/news/...tail/2040.html

The more the merrier? I have to admit, it might be nice if these well-organized race people would also organize longer-distance races, even just stretching to Olympic Distance to offer one more option (kind of like how some of them do supersprint/sprint). I suppose that might be quite the zoo, though.

Should be interesting to see how Danskin does without Sally, and how the Trek series does on its own with only her name to start them up. I'll probably try both as long as they fit with my schedule. Knowing my luck, one of them will collide with work travel.
