Money raised went back to the community.</p> 423<p>Two years ago, Kiwanis handed the race to myTeam Triumph Connecticut. Entries still fund a local cause: mTT-CT puts athletes with disabilities into endurance events across the state, at no cost to the athlete or their family.</p> 424<p>The course is the same. And it’s still a hometown race, run by neighbors, for anyone willing to show up.</p> 425<p>The 2026 edition is Sunday, September 27<strong>.</strong> Registration is 7 a.m. The competition begins at 8:30.</p> 426<p>The course is short: a 1/2-mile jetty-to-jetty swim, 5.5 miles on bikes through the flat Compo neighborhood, and a 2.2-mile run.</p> 427<p>There are 3 ways to take part</p> 428<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Race it.</strong></span> Go solo, or split with 2 friends as a swim-bike-run relay.

What are the pros and cons I should consider?â</p> 731<p>Think of it as a conversation starter. The widget will respond; you can then continue the conversation, refine it, or simply walk away more knowledgeable about a local subject.</p> 732<p>Weâre all used to typing in a word or two in a search engine. We get a list of links that we then plow through.</p> 733<p>But thatâs not our AI widget. It responds in complete paragraphs, and invites an ongoing dialogue.</p> 734<p>Bottom line: Take a few extra seconds to frame your question â just as you would with a friend. Give your AI buddy enough information to offer a complete, detailed response.</p> 735<p>The more you use it, the better youâll get. And the smarter our AI widget will become too.</p> 736<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-298941 hoverZoomLink" src="https://i0.wp.com/06880danwoog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/AI-home-page-2.
