@David - I ended my OS early and took about a month off to help her with our move to Alaska. Training took no time away from her at all through a house sale/close, packing, movers, a post-mover trip to St. Lucia, and a graduation. Time + trip to St. Lucia + her being sick of hearing how I wanted my revenge on that course + the fact that we were going to the race anyway because her best friend from high school's husband is racing = I get to race!!!
Work. Better triathlon community than in North Dakota. But I'm kind of worried. Someone told me that I shouldn't go running/biking without packing a piece and bear spray. Hope that isn't true. I need to train and a concealed weapons permit might take awhile. I'm envisioning that pic of Rich with the pistol in his jersey pocket.
As far as making any on course RR's or an Arizona Camp. Wifee said if I went to a Arizona twice it would come out of my road bike fund. (I am hoping to get a new road bike this winter) But as soon as the pain from IMCDA wears off I will jazzed to race in Arizona.
My wife and I are going to be in Scottsdale the week of 9/5-10 and agaion for a weekend of 10/14-17 (?). Looking for swims, bikes or runs? EN or Local groups out there, etc? Thanks Dave
It may be something I would be interested in. I would probably stay with a friend in Phoenix so wouldn't need to count me in on lodging. I would also bring my hubby along..he's been training for IMAZ but may have to drop...back issues...no running.
Terry...definitely carry bear spray!! And sing loudly when you go out for a run. I'm in Idaho in the summers, near Yellowstone.. we've had bears in our yard...so I always carry spray!

Alaska? WTF? Your work take you there? And where?

I haven't really done anything as there were only a couple of us. Probably a little early in getting this going.
Will give it a couple of more weeks and then start to nail things down.
