The good news is they hold a triathlon every year.
Bad news is you are about 3 hours from civilization.

It is mountains with pine trees and fresh air sandwiched between the navajo and apache indian reservations. It will snow in the winter and be hot in the summer.
I only spent a few days there on a work assignment so hopefully somebody who has actualy lived there will chime in.

We stay in Show Low when we go skiing out at Sunrise. It seems like the entire town is on one street. Lots of cabins and vacation homes out there... doesn't seem like there's much to do. It's also hours away from... anything. There is a great Mexican restaurant in town!

Show Low is a great place. Smaller town with loads of outdoors.

Good riding on and off road.

A couple of triathlons. Including the Deuces Wild Festival that has an Xterra, Half Iron, and Oly.

Cooler than Phoenix. Plus it is higher altitude so when you come down to Phoenix to race you will breath easy!

I'd take Show Low over the "Valley of Interrupted Heat and Traffic" (Phoenix area) any day!

There's tons to do if you enjoy the outdoors. If your thing is shopping, sitting in traffic, or going to the movies, then maybe Phoenix or Tucson would be better.  

GO!  If I could find a good job there, I'd be your neighbor.

You would be close enough to the East Side Cool Kids Tri Club to experience the magic of fools in training !!!

There is awesome mountain biking up there. A ton of trails and Sunrise opens the lifts for bikes in the summer.
