Today I was pleasantly suprised by Frontier Airlines. If you want to leave on time, on a plane that is not overbooked, and return on time, I recommend the airline. Priorities: A) two fish tacos from Rubio's, B) a grilled chicken pita from Jack in the box, and C) get outside and get hiking (photos to follow).
I was also relieved that the cheap hotel I found doesn't suck. It's right by the road, but the other side of the room has a door and window that lead out to a balcony near the pool. For $40 a night, I think that's good. Plus I have cable, and after a day of driving around 100 miles around town, walking for two hours downtown and getting up at 4AM, I'm down for laying low.
While here, I checked out University of Arizona campus eateries and shops, a rest stop that provided great hiking and views, and the Arizona-Senora Desert Museum. The shops were okay, not sure where I found that rest stop though! I did meet some New Yorkers admiring mountain as well, and we chatted for awhile before I hit up the museum.
I do recommend the certification for my race director buddies. It was a decent source of networking, but I learned a great deal from others about races around the country, and can't wait to get my own going.

I think you need to look into gecoache races and adventure races. I think you'd be really into that!
