The informational pages are going to be like this one: www dot findatriathlon dot com slash hawaii/2006fordiron-30.html There really is not a lot of room for google ads. Where would be a good spot?
Good places: ad unit above the left menu; ad block between the text with the links using the same color the links you have within the text; ad unit in the top menu...after the login thing.
Other than that, the design and colors and layout seem alright? Oh, and where do you mean after the login thing? There is no room horizontally. And for the ad block between the text, what text do you mean? EDIT: Ok, I added a small unit to the right side of the screen in the small yellow box. How does that one look?
I suggest you to include a 300x250 ad block before the "Triathlon News". Also a ad unit above the "Browse States" with the same blending. I like the colors. I don't like too much the huge size of the left menu.
