Once a year, the society is overrun.
The New London Hospital uses our grounds as the staging area and finish line for its annual triathlon fundraiser. At the pre-race meeting on Bucklin Beach, Jesse Levine announced that over 300 competitors (including individual team members) had entered the race. With most bringing family and well-wishers, we would guess the society hosted 1,000 visitors or more.
The weather at the start of the swim was ideal—overcast and cool. It remained that way through the bike and cleared to sun as runners crossed the finish line. Perfect.
