Subject: RE: "Easiest" Ironman or Iron Distance writers2 - 2006-02-18 6:42 PM Arizona would be a good one, however, for those of us who live in cold climates, it's very hard to ride those long distances in the winter. Someone told me Montreal, although it's not an Ironman, but an Iron distance. Thoughts? http://www.esprittriathlon.com/ I did the my frist ( and only to date) sprint distance there last year. It is a great place for you support team to watch you race. Grandstand in front of the rowing basin lets them watch the swim and run portion of the event. A short 2min walk over to the track lets them watch you on the bike. You may be chomping athte bit by the time you get off the bike, things don't change much after the second time around, but there are lots of peopleto give you encouragement as you ride. People that I have talked to said that it is one of the best events to set a PR. I had a great time and will be doing a race there this year as well.
