It would just be nice for the rotation to come close to us, like it is for you. Doesnt have to be CA, although I bet it would break all attendance records if they did. WA, AZ, OR, NV would be nice, even some adjoining states would be just a couple hour flight. Like the draft legal champs coming up in Tempe, those I plan to go to, just because of location.. Ha, see you there.

The problem with Tempe is that the other cities don't want to work with Tempe to let the bike courses go through it. That's why you get a ridiculous & somewhat dangerous 3 loop 70.3 bike course and 2 loop Oly courses. Mesa/Chandler realized pretty early they received very little in the way of hotel nights/tax revenue compared to what they were spending.
Then you've got WTC who has put restrictions on when other triathlons can use Tempe Town lake (not sure if they still do that)
Not sure if there are are restrictions from WTC. But Tempe Beach Park is highly impacted as an event site. When the weather is nice there seems to be something going on at least every three weeks. There's a lot of triathlons there when you think about it now. On a fall thru Sprint Calendar this seems to be what's on the docket this next year: LifeTime Tri, Sun Devil Tri, Draft legal Nats, IMAZ 70.3, IMAZ, and Cactus Man.
