This is my first year of any kind of serious exceercise and the Spring Sprint will be my very first taste of Triathlon competition.  I have a few Olys lined up for later in the year though. 

I  am an ultimate rookie but am training hard and would like to ride this course at least a few times (after it quits snowing that is) and someone who has done it before would be a good companion. Haven't even gotten my bike on the road yet.

Overall, there arent very many Idaho residents active on this website so I dont know if you're going to get many responses or not.  I'm not doing the spring sprint (focusing on Robie) but I think that you can find the map on the website and I'm pretty sure that its on Hill road mostly (but I dont know since I've never done it.)   

If you belong to the Y, I'd recommend talking to Harold or Kevin or Melissa about the tri club.  I belong and its a great group of people from total newbies to really experienced and everything in between.  And people are really supportive.  In checking out your blog, it looks like you might want some swimming help, and Kevin has a Friday afternoon adult swim lesson/drills class that is really popular.  The group open water swims in the summer are also super helpful too. 

Anyway, hope to see you around.  And good luck training for your first tri.

I would be down for that. I haven't had the bike outside much due to this lovely weather we are having. But once it warms up a bit I'd be up for a ride.

Sure, I work in the North End, so i could ride it a few times with you.  It's basically up Bogus Basin road for a bit then out and back on Hill Rd.

Drop me a PM if you're interested.

Cool, agreed, once it starts acting like Spring I will drop you a note.

I rode outside today. It was awesome. I even had shorts on.
