Hey, so I'm an very green triathlete and am looking for races that are more than just miles. I'm interested in Olympic or 1/2 Iron length, Rocky NW. Are there any can't miss races out there?

also Trifind.com. I live on the East Coast so can't really help. Personally, I've always wanted to do Vineman (I know it's not Rockies, but still...west is west from this far away!)

There's a new Boise 70.3. Or, I've heard the 5430 Triathlon is a half iron distance in Boulder that's tough but cool.

North West part of the US. Rockie Mountains. You know, short summers and thin air. :)

Oh this is easy! Go to any race under trained or go way to hard or crash or flame out on the run or fight your way through a torrential downpour in 55 degree weather...and you'll remember every minute of it forever...

Vineman is a stunning race, a great atmosphere and I have a lot of memories from it (including all the pain :)
