How many races do you enter each year/season? It looks like 3 for me.

in my 4 years total racing, i did 12 my first year, 14 the next, 17 last year, this year will be a lot lower due to moving twice at 10.

that includes all multisport racing, and does not include TTs, running races, or swimming races

i'm only doing 3 this year, 2 tri's and for the first time this year: Living History Farms Cross Country Race.

Next year i'm hoping to do 4 to 5 races, all sprints or olympics... depending on how much I enjoy my first 70.3 in a few weeks.

With the economy like it is, it isn't like it was 3-4 years ago so I try and keep total race costs under $500.00/year right now which equals 4-5 races total.  My choice on running or tri's.  This year is 1 half mary, 1 mud run, 1 oly., and 1 sprint.

This is my first year doing tri's so I have 2 sprints, 1 offroad tri, and then 3-4 5k's, and cyclocross season is probably only going to be 2 races this year.

Only 3 cross races this year?

Here in NE there are usually at least 2 per weekend. I usually race every weekend sometimes twice and often mid week training race.

Cross is amazingly fun and so different than tris.

2 off road tris, a half-mary, was going to do an off-road half-mary but won't be doing that one now. One MTB specific race, and doing a 4 race off-road series of 10 milers in the late fall.


going to try and do 3 dirty tris next year and more MTB races, probably a similar amount of running races.
