Personal Event Schedule

Friends,
This will not be a thoughtful post, instead I thought I'd put out my event schedule for this year in cyberspace so that I remain committed to it. Problem with going into a second year of athletics (and this coming May will mark my first year of being coached to race, not just showing up at a starting line) is that I now have some events with a "personal best" to look back on... and compare... and try not to set up unrealistic expectations!

So... here it goes:

2010 Event (Dare -I -say -"Race") Schedule:

Sunday 2/28/10: Hyannis Half- Marathon (My first 1/2 M-- and looks like it will snow!)

April: Two "C Races" (Defined as: No peak, No taper, 70% effort during race & then No recovery-- just keep on training!): Wrentham Duathlon and Rockbuster Off-Road Duathlon (the latter of which is really really really fun)

May: One "C Race": US Coast Guard Duathlon; Possible Half Century Bike Ride

June: Patriot Half-Ironman Triathlon (Anchoring event of the season as it requires a huge commitment in training thus, "A Race" b/c of taper and peak, effort is just get through this endurance event and then a loooong recovery- phew!)

July ??? Olympic Distance triathlon and/or a sprint distance tri w/ ocean swim

August: Lowell Olympic Distance Triathlon (A Race)

September: TDD Triathlon (B/C Race) and? Hale Off-Road Duathlon

October: Tufts 10K (women's- only) Road Race, Boston and
MSG Off-Road Duathlon
