You're supposed to go to Palm Springs in the winter, not the summer.

Actually, the mountains around Palm Springs like San Jacinto and San Gorgonio are really nice in the summer and you'll have to make a trip up to check out the Sierra while your here - that's very nice too. Let us know when you get here. I'll bet you'll find some others interested in triathlons to hang out with while out here.
