I'm not afraid to say it but I'm definately envious of those that live in Boulder.

Try getting ANYTHING built, much less a commercial building, in the People's Republic of Boulder and then get back to me on how great it is. No doubt (at least IMHO), we have the best training venue in the world, but the people here are militant when it comes to building.

Good, keep the growth down and it might, MIGHT remain possible to ride a bicycle on the roads for the month that it is warm enough.

Keep repeating that to every Texan you know, and if you know any Californians, tell them, too. Brrr!!! It's WAY too cold out today for me to be riding.

Gawd.. the small number of triathletes at my gym are bad enough. A whole facility dedicated to endurance training? Kill me...

its mainstream to do tris, its fringe to try to be good at them.
