It was going to be my A race for the season, but alas financial and travel budgets won't allow it this year. I'm going to try and make it in 2006 after my IM debut next spring.
I wish you the best of luck and I can't wait for a race report.
My fiancee (will be wife a few days before the race) and I are coming from Portland via Scotland. We talked her sister and brother in law and 2 friends of ours into to it. The 4 of them are coming from Boulder via Scotland. I'm in your age group. Should be great, like Portland in May. I did Troika yesterday in Spokane, WA, freakin' inferno. I look forward to green, moist and cool.
