Leaving NJ Feb 1 for Arizona for four months of training and sunshine

My wife Sandy and I will be driving from the Jersey Shore to our other home in Tubac , AZ (http://www.barriodetubac.com/ , http://www.tubacaz.com/) on or about Feb 1. This will be the first time, since we owned the home that we will spend extended time there. we plan on about 4 months. We will be enjoying some of the best weather in the US and will be able to train on some of the best roads and hills for cycling, and trails for running. We also have use of a 25 meter outdoor pool which is about a 3 minute walk from the house. This Arizona stay will be a dream for me since I plan on training for a big time summer race here in the N. East. I also intend to race in the Southwest this spring since their season starts in early March. I'm hoping to come back to NJ in late May as fit as I can be for my new 60-64 age group.
I will try to post on this blog a few times a week to let you guys see what's happening in Arizona. Also keep in mind, I can set up individual or group training camps in that part of Arizona. I can also set up lodging. So feel free to contact me if interested, tmanzi@trainingbible.com . I'm also helping direct a tri camp in March in Tucson, for Joe Friel's Training Bible Coaching company. I'll post info below.
Stay tuned for more posts to this blog.
See camp info below.

CAMP INFO:
Athletes,
TBC would like to invite you to come train with our TBC athletes , as well as some of the TBC coaches, March 12th-15th in Tucson. We're calling it a "camp" but this will be a little different. This is an INFORMAL environment for us all to train together, meet each other, and for TBC coaches to see all of you at least one time in each sport. We wanted to do this for 2 reasons. 1. TBC wants to show our appreciation to all the athletes . We know there are a lot of camp options out there, some are very good, and most are very expensive. $500.00 and up for 3 days. We want to offer this to you as an athlete for only $100.00. It is our way of trying to give back to you.2. With the budget of $100/ athlete we will not be able to guarantee we hire a lot of coaches and experts, but we will have Joe Friel, Adam Zucco, Jim Vance and Tom Manzi to assist all of you at the camp. We expect a few more coaches to commit. The main purpose of the camp will be to build fitness and if the athlete wants, a coach will review what is going on with you as an athlete. ( you can read about each coach at http://www.trainingbible.com/)

We have reserved a discounted rate at the The Inn Suites for out of towners. The hotel also has a lap pool!
WE WILL HAVE VO2 TESTING for an additional $125-
The camp will include:* Maps of all our rides* At least 1 coached workout in a pool* We will all do Mt. Lemon together in a time trial start so we all get to the top at the same time!* A lot of riding* Hopefully some guest speakers (although my experience is most people just want to train while there)- Joe Friel will be giving a talk* At least 1 really fun dinner somewhere. It will be partially covered by TBC, but you might all have to chip in (again, the budget)If you want to come, please let me know ASAP. If you have a friend you think might want to come, let me know. The camp for NON COACHED athletes will be $300.00 ( Tucson Tri Girls members will have same fee as TBC coached athletes $100)
