Ahwatukee/Phoenix Triathletes Available?

I could use a few buddies in the Ahwatukee (Phoenix) area who are triathletes... I have many years as an athlete in all kinds of sports and venues (mostly running, average ability, but high knowledge and motivation).  In April 2008, I did the Boston Marathon and now I'm stepping up to the Full Ironman distance races.  This last weekend I did my first triathlon at the SOMA 1/2 Ironman.  Got stomped in the swim... not used to the wetsuit at all (53 minutes).  But loved it!  Tired today ;-)  Looking for long course triathletes available to ride long occassionally, discuss, support, teach, befriend, etc.  I have a full commercial gym in my house and the time to train correctly and effectively, but I could use a few of my kind to do this right; clients and family are great support but aren't of the right ilk for this. I have the Idaho - Full Ironman coming in June 2009 and I'm going to be ready.  I always stay in shape and I periodize my training throughout the year, so with three weeks training I did SOMA 1/2 in 5 hours and 25 minutes.  The bottom line is... I take all my athletic hobbies seriously and this one especially so... I like to find out what I can do with what little I got ;-)
