Oceanside should be good...I hope it doesn't rain this year!
Good luck in Arizona. I did it last April and the conditions were tough. I heard that November was a lot cooler.

Just added the Honu 70.3 to the calendar (also known as Ironman Hawaii 70.3). What the heck is wrong with me?

I'm doing my first Tri in April, and if that goes well, the Wendys International in June.
I did my first race of the season/year, a half-marathon, yesterday.
I've got some other races planned as well, but I don't have the schedule in front of me.

Been cycling for years, 10,000+ miles / year. Started running last October and I'm new to triathlon, but going big. These are my key events:
April: Xenia OH 1/2 Marathon (ORRRC)
July: Muncie Endruathon 1/2 IM
Sept: Toyota Challenge 1/2 IM (HFP Racing)
November 7: Ironman Florida
I started out only going tenths of a mile at a time. Worked up to some 5Ks and 5 milers. Now up to 8-10 miles but having some hip/piriformis problems due to imbalance in my legs. Seems all my endurance riding has overdeveloped my quads compared to hammies. More significantly... my right side is dominant to the left. Working on corrections and strengthening. Stretching... yoga...
I'll get there.
