Went last year, I have planned and worked hard to return, but my achilles says "no way". I really like the course and the Tucson area.
It may just be 115 in the shade there (it was 91 degrees last year).
Good luck to you, murder that hill on the run!

I'm in.

Where, on the website, can I find the link to the webinar?

Never mind, it's on the home page now.

Have they announced where the 2013 & 14 race will be yet?

No racing this spring for me

If they held it later in the year, you'd either have little prep time before Worlds (Nancy, France this year in Sept.) or you'd have to qualify for the next year.

The timing is really a function of where you live. Late spring is perfect for me living in the high desert of California. I have raced it in early June, early May, and late July. It has been pretty consistently late April or early May for about five years.

Additionally, whether they (we) like it or not, duathlon is the ugly stepchild to tri, so if you push it too far back you will lose all the folks who would rather be swimming (as hard as that is to imagine).

Ha :) Funny, given my username.

I'm in, but just for the sprint.

That is definately possible. I love running and cycling, and except on those rare days when everything is perfect and I head out on the 2nd run feeling great, even I don't enjoy the second run. I would love to put on a run/bike hillclimb.

I will be coming and hopefully riding Lemmon on Monday. If you beat me again then I may just have to hire Brian as my coach. Oh, wait, he has already told me no before. :)

Race week!

Upgraded from Sprint to Standard. Should be interesting.
