Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official ThreadI will be back for more in 2012. IM AZ 2011 was such an awesome race, I could not have been happier with my effort, endurance and results. For those coming in from out of town, Tempe Mission Palms is a great hotel, and right across the street from Tempe Beach Park. Rates run about $250 per night, though, and it fills up rather fast, so if you want to splurge, act quickly. For those on a tighter budget, there are a number of other hotels like Courtyard, etc in the surrounding area, all a pretty easy and short walk to IM Village. Oh, and the new Tri-sports retail store will be open by next year, and it is also right across the street from Tempe Mission Palms and Tempe Beach Park, so the place should be jumpin' and will be available for any last minute impulse needs. |
