Dear 2009 Gloucester Triathlon participant, You are the first to hear some exciting news! We have been contacted by Mayor Carolyn Kirk to bring BACK the Gloucester Triathlon. Thanks to YOU, we had a wildly successful 2009 Gloucester Triathlon. We are thrilled to stage the event again in one of favorite race venues.
We hope to have as soon as possible final approval from the City Council and other various department heads for a September race date (after Labor Day weekend).
IMPORTANT – to show your support for this event and to join our 2012 email list please gohere. If you are a Facebook user follow the race here.
Here is Mayor Kirk’s letter of support for the 2012 Gloucester Triathlon. SPREAD THE WORD – the triathlon is coming back!!
Great work by our team of contributors has landed us on the Home page of The Gloucester Fisherman Triathlon as the go-to source for Gloucester Tri Coverage!
The thing about GMG is that we are inclusive and feel like the more we can involve contributions from our community the better the site will be for everyone. So if you have a photo of yourself or if someone took a picture of you at the race send it in to goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com and we will make a GMG contributor slide show of your photos. Be sure to include the triathlete’s name!
Here is a submission from yesterday for example-

I couldn’t be prouder of our coverage of The Gloucester Fisherman Triathlon.
Everyone stepped up to once again bring you the very best coverage of the event all the way from this past winter when we started our interviews with Janda and Judy Destino pumping up the race, Manny getting everyone excited with his pre-race interviews, throughout our live coverage and reporting as well as posting photos of the winners within minutes of them crossing the finish line, Thom Falzarano’s photo slideshow of the beginning of the race with over 70 hi res pictures posted within an hour of the start of the race,Sister Felicia sending in pictures as the race was unfolding, Marty posting his usual journalistic quality scene photography, Ed Collard getting the footage of the race course and calmly describing the scenes. Over 500 hi res photos in all, over 5 hours of video coverage, community photos and involvement, and being the very first to report the winners anywhere I’d say I owe the crew a pizza party at the very least.
You Guys Rock and we once again proved that THIS IS THE SOURCE! GMG BABY! Here’s the start of the Fantastic camera work by our David Cox!

Live Blogging The Gloucester Fisherman’s Tri Starts Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight NOW!
4:35AM Staging area.
I got up extra early to get some coverage of the set up at the staging area in Saint Peter’s Square (video uploading now)
The race workers are professionals at this all having worked for the company for a while and all knowing their role. With an hour til competitors will be showing up they were cool, calm and collected, even making jokes knowing that by 5AM the whole place will be bustling with activity. If I were a triathlete I’d get down there early to sign in if you hadn’t already done so yesterday because the lines will probably get big in a hurry.-
