RE: [e-litebeat] 2006 Long Course Nationals Options
I agree with Brad. My vote would be Racine since it is located virtually in the middle of the country. 5430 would be totally unfair with the altitude.

Although I live in Boulder and would enjoy the opportunity to race in my "back yard", it seems holding the race at altitude might be disadvantageous for some. Either of HFPs races sound like good options. The Spirit of Racine event would be more centrally located for traveling considerations.
Thanks for asking for input!
