The global credit crisis has made it more difficult to support the high cost of training in Tokyo. Several other triathlete friends are thinking of relocating to Laos where we can survive on less than US$10 per day.
The biking is a bit rougher, so we need to re-focus a bit on competing in the Xterra type events which entail mountain biking and trail running. I managed to find some good cycling and hiking routes along the Mekong and was able to begin preparation for the Saipan and Ome-Takamizu events in the Spring.

Before I move to Loas, can you exapnd upon "survive" (the $US10/day reference). Does that include bar fines?
Thanks!

No problem Pete. Housing can be had for a few dollars per day, noodles are all but free. Coffee and beer is plentiful. So I figure there is still budget for your $5 bar fines
Sounds like paradise.
Jay, sounds awesome...Thailand was similar in that the main hazards are not snakes or lizards, but drunken westerners riding mopeds and jeeps! I have to pick your brain on places to go in Laos. Kop kun!
