2010 race schedule

I thought that Cedar Point, Leamington, Welland, and Peterborough were on 4 consecutive weekends in June. Do I have the schedule wrong? I have done 2 halfs in a year a couple of times but doing 2 halfs within a month or doing a sprint right before or after a half is too much for me. This is why I'm not sure what to do in June, too many good races and too little time

I think that Welland will probably be well run, although running a half is a big step up for a race director. Also I thought that the people running Cedar Point had only done one race before?

Ok, my bad. Cedar Point is September 12, the same weekend as Muskoka and Wasaga Beach.

Sounds like everyone is doing Cedar Point. This is going to be a tough decision, Muskoka is such a great race, and my family really wants another trip to Muskoka. I agree with what Stef is saying about race size, but I actually prefer somewhat larger races. If I'm going to do a half I like the idea of a little more hoopla. With a small half it gets awfully lonely out there at the BOP

It is one of the funnest things to do in the off-season is plan for the next season!

I am definitely in for:

Victoria's Du in May

Would like to do:

Guelph Lake Sprint
Toronto Island Sprint

Haven't fully thought through:

Muskoka - eek! I am still a newb but my fiance has done this one twice and is registered and we have a room booked at Deerhurst so all I have to do is decide to do it and register!

Anyway, it'll be that or Milton Women's Tri - olympic ... we'll see

There's a whack of running races as well. I am getting dragged into Around the Bay by well-meaning friends, we did a fun 10k where they raffle off a car so we'll probably do that again and then there's A Midsummer Night's Run which I've done the 30k for the last four years. If I do the 15k it could fit in well with HIM training.  But I WILL NOT do a marathon next year!

I have not seen today's Star, but I just noticed this:

If anyone can win all 3 of the REV3 races (Oly, half and full) they would win $183,000. I'd better start training

Cedar Point might be a much larger race and flashier than we were thinking.

Thanks Kats, I had not heard that the Spirit of Racine was now a 70.3. I used to live in WI so I have been thinking about going back for a race. It's too bad that it is the week before Steelhead. I would think that they could spread out races in the midwest a little better than that.

We tried to book a sport suite early last year and everything with a kitchen was already booked. You definately want to book early. We did eventually get a sport suite off the waiting list just before the race.

Why are you thinking about Calgary Matt? We were considering combining Calgary with visiting family in Alberta, but we have other vacation plans now so we are back to thinking about races close to home for this year. I think I'm going to book rooms for Steelhead and Cedar Point before they fill.

Registration for these races should stay open until almost race day, but you should book accomodations early. The nice places fill early and you can always cancel if you don't do the race.
