TRI's are mostly cush with one or two months that are hard. The whole point of TRI is that you want to take it easy for a year. Sure there are a few that are hardcore, but you can find out about them before hand.

I'd like to get some more information about the TRI's as well. I did some searching on the forum but still have some questions.

What exactly should we be looking for in a program?

How competitive are they? I saw the match results on the NMS website for 2012 and saw that only 351 out of 594 TRI spots were filled. I guess a more specific question would be: how competitive would it be to get a TRI position based on the desirability of its location, whether it be a big urban city or near the beach?
