First race of the Year....?

I'm hoping to kick off the year at the Coyote but may have to rethink if there were swim issues previously.  I usually do the Rio Rancho races because they are close to home but prefer to race on Saturdays.  I would like to do the Jay Benson.  I never have before.  It seems that registration comes and goes without me hearing a word about it.

Couldn't justify two cross border raids in two months- We're booked May 31-June 6 for a friends 40th B-day- same beach.  SO my first race will be Mesilla Valley- love that course, pool, and promotors- no affiliation, just appreciate a well run race.

I just hate the start of it and waiting about 20 minutes on the deck twiddling your thumbs. The swim went fine for me. I shortchanged myself on my time and ended up doing all the passing and never got passed. 

Trinity...I have heard that they will have Charity slots available for ~$100.

Jay...I will be doing it solo. Kerry and Connor are teaming it. I'll also be doing it on my road bike- I just need more time to get used to the B2's more aggressive position. As it stands right now, my neck can't take more than 1-2 miles in aero.

Mark, you should mount a mirror on your forks so you can look down and see in front of you

Might negate the aero advantage though 

Steve....Yes I sold my QR Seduza at the end of the season and I picked up a Felt B2 and had it set up to the same dimensions as my QR. 

I used the road bike with clip ons for the winter but even removing all the spacers, I could not get it as low as the QR was so my neck has to go through all that again.

ah, I guess I didn't notice what bike you were on in the garage. I need to pay better attention

And no use asking if your QR is for sale since it's gone 

i'm in for Spring Fling - it's been over a year since I've raced. Last year was just busy with life and didn't fit well with tri. so, April 22 is on! I'm excited for it to get here as well. I'm hoping to get a few other races in. If I can get training going in the summer, I'd like to do Elephant Man but the Damnit Man should be one I will do.

good luck to you all this year!

Tri Taos Super Sprint for me.  First year race and short (2mi/9mi/400yds)  and early with an indoor transistion  4/14.

Then trying to decide if I do the oly or sprint Billy the Kid.  It will be my first oly, first open water swim tri.  I think it's a small race so may be a good one to work the bugs out.
