I have to disagree with you about being better than Arizona. I think the thing that you and many people fail to realize is that convenience in getting to a race venue is important to many athletes. Flying into PHX, which is a big airport and having the race being 15 minutes away with plenty of places to stay, restaurants, etc. is really important to many people, especially first time triathletes. It is much more of a pain in the ass to fly to one place rent a car then drive to the middle of nowhere with a sleepy do nothing city.
Yes, there are other races and IM races that are in tougher to reach places, these races have the benefit of age (i.e., they've been around awhile) so people no about them. Just don't see them as a good place to build one's brand especially when there is so much competition in triathlons.

Cool coverage. Hope Jordan can hold on to 2nd!

P.S. the forum link on the live coverage goes to the Bradenton thread, keeps confusing me.

Yeah I noticed that too. Maybe on his next loop past Slowman, Rappster can fix it for him:)
This race sound like a great event, I knew I should have signed up. Maybe next year.

hey, i don't need rappstar to fix this. i just fixed it. somebody alerted me to this earlier this morning, but i looked at all the links and thought they were okay. it didn't dawn on me that it was this one. stupid me. but, now fixed (a little too late).

you were probably in perfect shape for this, that is, in less shape than you're usually in when you're perfectly overtrained.
you'd have loved it here. best race i've been to in a long time.

Thanks for the live coverage, Slowman and Monty. Just your words made me feel like I was there! (Or at the Bodensee!)

Nice coverage of the race.
I was under the impression that the 101 series was going to bring better live video feeds and athlete tracking to the sport of triathlon. Was I wrong in this. I went to the site to look at the video feeds and athlete leaderboard and neither of these things ever seemed to work.
Without your blogging, I dont think any results would have been available near real-time.

Yes, IM races in beautiful out of the way places would never make it. Thankfully, I was able to fly into Lake Placid Int'l Airport and stay at the Grand Hyatt.
Only kidding of course, but I've done IMAZ and IMLP and as a venue, IMAZ sucks. The only people who know IMAZ is even happening are the ones racing and their family members. 1 mile from the start line in Tempe, no one in that area even knows a race is going on.
Sorry to hijack thread. Continue updates.

Just got caught up on this, good coverage. Nice job by Rappstar too.
This is my favorite quote of the day:
At least that's Monty's report as he watches the powerful Aas from behind in the Slowtwitch ice cream truck.
I don't know if you meant it to read like that :)
Forget speedwork. Speedwork is the icing on the cake and you don't have a cake yet. - MattinSF

Dan,
Thanks a lot for the great coverage and I look forward to do a One O One next year. Several friends of mine from Chattanooga signed up for the Halifax one, but I'll be in Europe during that time I believe. :-(
Cheers,
Herbert
