Howdy all, 
Looks like NA made a change to the direction of the start of the run, rather than starting eastbound towards Scottsdale Road, you now start westbound towards Priest with the other parts unchanged. The direction towards the finish comes up from the transition area and you run east to finish. Slight change to the bike course near the transition to accomidate this. 
Hope everyone's training is going well and strong! <a href="http://www.ironmanarizona.com/bike.html" target="_blank">http://www.ironmanarizona.com/bike.html</a> <a href="http://www.ironmanarizona.com/run.html" target="_blank">http://www.ironmanarizona.com/run.html</a>

I think that is kind of sad - I liked coming over the bridge knowing the finish was right around the corner. Hmm.... 
maybe the finish chute will be longer now though. That was my one complaint last year - it was pretty short.

How is special needs going to work out then, do you think? From my understanding, it is now at the end of a loop instead of the middle of a loop, right?

Ahhh, ok. I'm was thinking it would be in the exact same spot. I guess they could move it up the hill towards where ~mile 1 was. This is messing with my chi!! I wonder how it will feel after doing it one way 3 times last year. Maybe the change will be good and shake things up a bit!
