A really good swim coach to improve my form and effeincy. I am one of those 'adult learners' who never learned proper technique - hence I swim uphill and slowly....
@ Scott - looks awesome, but I don't believe it will help me at San Juan, St Croix and Cozumel! I'm doing the southern circuit next year and I already have 4 wetsuits.
I continue to get "comments" about my 2002 road bike from my friends riding '10-11's with $$$$ wheels from Rich. But I imagine I'll continue to ride the War Horse and not upgrade. I'm scrounging nickels for several snowboarding trips this winter and new-to-me dirbike in the spring.
Robin, I hears ya on the no broken bones. I'm terrified of breaking my hands/thumbs/wrists. Between my 3 hobbies of cycling, dirt biking and snowboarding....yikes!
Got some instructions from Craig (the inventor, I think), and really found it pretty valuable. Nice that they made a version to strap on to any home bench.
Dow of 13,000 and a solution for the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain)!
@Rich - you're bike is a 2002...very modern. Mine is a 1992 Bridgestone RB-1...it's so old I could get one of those "classic" license plates if they had 'em for bikes.

Solution for the PIGS? You think Santa is a miracle worker? Their only shot is to devalue their way out but can't do that while still using the EUR. Oh well.
Leadville is lottery only. Open until early next year. Course is majority single track, but not "technical" in the Pac NW sense, as it's all between 10,000 and 12,500 feet, which is sub-alpine-alpine terrain there. The worst part is the atltitude - tough to train for unless you are there for three weeks ahead of time.

New front teeth.
17 watts would be nice as well but I need the 7 seconds more :-)
Anyone know where I can buy either, legally?
A new job, hopefully closer to the West Coast (home). I'll be putting more effort into that after IMAZ.
Oh, and a crushing PR at IMAZ!
and maybe a Zipp 404 front so I won't be blown around the road so much in windy races
Matt -- I think you're probably down to a) lots of the Sufferfest, b) live-in triathlon coach, c) cycling camp in Mallorca.

A new wetsuit - Not settled on any one in particular but did like my Orca.
A 910XT would be cool
Tri shorts
EN gear - tri top, jacket and running hat
race tires
race wheels - again I need to decide on what I would like.
Realistically though the wetsuit, 910XT and the race wheels are well out of the range we typcially spend so I will have to save for those myself.

How does one qualify for Leadville?
Is it a technical course or mainly just grinding?

giant tcr composite road bike. probably the best bike for the buck out there.
Apparently it's been a good year for Roy!
