Ok.. call me crazy, but here's what I'm thinking......

I think I may make the T-Rex the last Tri of the year for me, and then schedule myself to do the Detroit Half Marathon. 

What do ya think?? Am I out of my mind?

(you're) CRAZY!

No, it's cool if you are ready to be done with tri's for awhile.  Of course you could always bike, swim on your "rest" days from your run training - ya know . . . . just in case you change your mind.

Nope, not crazy.  I was thinking of doing something similar.  Except my next, last, and only tri of the remaining season will be the Autumn Colors, and I'll be training for a marathon.  There is a young Dr. at our church that had a quadruple bypass last winter.  He is now training for a marathon.  I think I'd like to share that with him.  Not positive yet, but strongly considering.

I am being drawn to the Marathon distance again... unfortunately I will be doing a relay at Detroit, so I cannot do it there.

Kazoo, you're crazy!

Actually, since I hurt my foot earlier this year I've had a hard time getting ready for anything.  I'm still tentatively planning on doing the Lansing Legislator Oly. distance in August, I'm already signed up for the Legend 10 mile trail run on 8/1, I'm signed up for Dances with Dirt, and I am just beginning my training for my very first full marathon, the Detroit Free Press Marathon on 10/18.

So, mostly running for me from here on out too.

I am also kicking around the idea of doing the Detroit Marathon. I am doing a couple of tri's in August but other than those it will be all running races.

I was out there, at Herron last week.  There are some pretty big holes in that bike course.  If the lane is divided, the side coming back from the bottom loop is wasted at the top of the last hill.

Wow, so when does the Freep Marathon thread start?  It seems like a lot of us are doing it, and for several of us it'll be a first.  I just put together my 13 week training program...
