The White Lake Half in Eastern North Carolina. Late April, most beautiful lake swim you'll ever do (white sand bottom so effectively clear water), flat bike and run and cool venue. Raleigh gets nonstops from Denver on United and it would be a 90 minute drive or so to White Lake. Rural, not a lot of hotels. But you can stay at a little motel near the site. This used to be the biggest half between Atlanta and DC in the early 2000s before Ironman grew. The Setup race series in North Carolina is for my money the best series in any state in the U.S. - you can have ocean swims, lakes, rivers, mountain venues, coastal, and it's a long season. Pardon the editorial - but I am nostalgic for those races. Here's a link: https://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=2904
x1,000!!!
ETA: Also, Frontier is currently showing a roundtrip, nonstop flight between Denver & Raleigh for $211 for the weekend of White Lake April 2018.
Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
