Race Plan

My races for this year go like this:

  • Feb 14th - Sweetheart Run ( already did this one, obviously), did a decent 20:33 for third place. Not bad for a triathlete in pre-season.
  • March 21st - Havasu Lake Triathlon, Olympic Distance
  • Tentative - April 5th - MVTC Triathlon, Sprint Distance
  • Tentative - April 11th - Spring Fling, Sprint Distance (I'll do either MVTC or the Spring, not sure yet)
  • April 18th - Collegiate Nationals in Lubbock Texas, Olympic Distance
  • May 10th - Jay Benson Triathlon, Sprint Distance
  • May 31st - Deuces Wild Olympic Distance
  • June 6th - Milkman Triathlon (Qualifier for Best of the US)
  • July 12th - Boulder Peak Triathlon, Olympic Distance
  • August 1st - Socorro Chile Harvest Triathlon, Sprint Distance
  • Tentative - August 15th - Los Alamos Triathlon, Sprint
  • August 22nd - Age Group Nationals, Olympic Distance
  • October 11th - Elephant Man Triathlon, Olympic Distance
Also, I'm going to be looking for runs to do this season, and if I can get a mountain bike set up for racing, I may hopefully be able to do some Xterra races.

Another Beautiful Day in the Desert


My last post was a really long time ago. Why? Well, because my computer was in the shop for 3 weeks (not the 1-1.5 they originally said) getting updated and made much faster. It's much nicer now :)
For my recent (or semi-unrecent) adventures I ran the PF Chang's 1/2 Marathon on January 18th, 2009. The weather was gorgeous! I did a 1:51. The time was definately not what I wanted to do, but that's what happens when the air quality is not great and random things decide to go haywire on my body. Still, I'll take it and learn from it. I keep training as usual: swim, bike, run. And I've decided to join a local triathlon club, which is going to be great to have people to train with.
I got my first shipment of PRObars today, too. I'm so excited! Yeah, so they're about 400 calories per bar, but that's what you need when you're doing so much. Not to mention they're yummy.
