  • I am hoping to qualify for 70.3 Worlds at Lake Stevens in August. If not this year teh next for sure.

  • I'm in! FYI - Frontier Airlines ships bikes free and they go to Vegas.
  • I did Silverman last year, which is the same course that 70.3 Worlds is going to be on this year. Train for hills!  Use a compact crank and an 11-28 or 12-27 or you will suffer.  The "Three Sisters" are waiting for you. The run course has some long grades as well, if you are a flat lander, find somewhere you can train to go UP.

  • Thanks steve, i'm in colorado so i think i'll be ok on the hills..  The lake looked absolutely nasty.  The bike didn't seem to bad, the park was pretty, but alot of it reminded me of kona a bit.  Very boring/depressing/hot/ it is a dessert i suppose.   What about the 3 loop run? it looks like most of it is on traffic streets,  certainly nothing memorable?
