2011 Race Season

Even though it's almost June I still haven't nailed down my race schedule for the year. But, I just received notification that I've made it off the Vineman 70.3 waitlist (I started at #395) and I'm officially registered! Vineman 70.3 will be my first half ironman and I'm very excited to try this new distance!

2011 Race Schedule

April 3: MORE Women's Half Marathon (New York, NY, race report)

June 5: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon (San Francisco, CA)

July 17: Vineman 70.3 (Sonoma County, CA)

Sept 4: 9th Annual Alcatraz Classic: "Swim with the Centurions" (San Francisco, CA)

So far my schedule includes a half marathon, an Olympic-ish tri, a half ironman (my first!), and an open water swim. I would like to do another triathlon in the fall, but I'm not sure if it will be an Olympic or a half. School starts in a few weeks and the first year is super, super intense and I'm not sure how much time I will have to train... I've also been contemplating trying to do a marathon again this fall. Marathon training is hard work, but I think running is the easiest to do because it requires less time than cycling and less hassle than swimming. I think I will either do another Olympic tri and a late fall marathon or another HIM and wait to try the marathon until next year.

Good luck at Alcatraz!

And good luck training for your first HIM! You are going to have a blast.

Oh, stop it. It looks like you are doing TWO swims in the San Francisco Bay.

Willingly?!

Will you be wearing booties with your wetsuit?
