okay ladies - I need ideas. Last year my goal was to complete my first olympic distance triathlon, however life got in the way. I was aiming for Chattanooga (sp?) TN tri in July - couldn't do it because I ended up in Oklahoma for a month on roation. Then I was going to do the Music City tri in Nashville - a rotation in Birmingham that required 100 hour weeks ruined my training leading up to that one. So I was looking at doing Memphis in May this year - now I have realized that is my graduation date - May 18th. AHHH !!! I am getting a little fed up.

I will be moving from Alabama sometime after May 18th to where ever I am going to complete my medical residency. Won't know where for another month. However, it will most likely be in the OK, TX, KS area if everything goes smoothly (cross fingers). I would either like to do a May or June Olympic distance tri, but can't travel long distances because of money. So, does anybody have any ideas on races around Alabama in May (besides May 18th) or the OK, TX, KS area after May 18th? I am kinda looking at the Route 66 tri on June 1st - but a friend is getting married the day before in Alabama and I will be in the process of moving (but I still may do it, especially if I am moving to Oklahoma). Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!!
