Subject: Your Tentative Race Schedule for 2010
Hello fellow BT'ers and NC triathletes...

So, what are your tentative or firm race plans/schedules looking like this year?  I'm so undecided and have only really looked at the Setup Events races and of course the Augusta 70.3, and I need to look over the FS Series races and any other good events or series if anyone could recommend some.

I'd also like to be at some of the same races as the others, just to say Hi again and feel a part of the community.

Here's a list I've put together, certainly not all of them but some I'll choose from:

Apr 17th - Belews Lake Sprint. 750M Swim, 14.5 mi. Bike, 5k Run.
May 8th - White Lake Half.  Volunteer and support my friends (does vlounteeting guarantee me a spot next year?)
May 9th - White Lake Sprint.  750M Swim, 14 mi. Bike, 5k Run.
May 23rd - Greensboro Sprint (Innagural year at Hagan Stone Park). 750M Swim, 14 mi. Bike, 5k Run.
Jun 6th - 36 Degrees North Sprint. 300M Swim, 13 mi. Bike, 5k Run (at Tanglewood Park, practically in my back yard!)
Jul 10/11th - Triangle Tri in Raleigh. 750M swim, 17.5 mi. Bike, 5k Run (either the Sat or Sun - which are you doing?)
Aug 21st - Lake Norman Sprint. 750M Swim, 17 mi. Bike, 5k Run.
Sep 19th - Angel's Race. 300M Swim, 13 mi. Bike, 5k Run.  Love the charity and it's my back yard!
Sep 26th - Ironman Augusta 70.3 - determined to beat 7 hrs. this time.
Oct 16th - Pinehurst Olympic. 1500M Swim, 30 mi. Bike, 10k Run.

... and I should probably exchange one of the earlier Sprints for an Olympic to help me prepare for the Half in Augusta, and I haven't even looked at FS Series or any other events yet.

What about you?

I may add a couple more depending on how I feel, especially August or September.

Never ran any FS Series races, are they pretty well organized and fun, good atmosphere?  I would like to try a couple this year.

I've only done 2 FS races and both were great. I've done Gary Kirby for 3 years, last year FS ran it and it was nothing but improved. Lake Royale had parking challenges like Triangle but handled it beautifully. They are organized very well, just smaller (for now).

I like a few small races and a few big races each year. Both are good in different ways.

Tobacco Road Marathon- 3/21 (may be deferred depending on my knee recovery)
White Lake Half Ironman-5/1
Triangle Triathlon (Sprint)- 7/10
Augusta Half Ironman- 9/26
Richmond Marathon-11/13 (or some other Fall marathon)

Will probably throw in a few OWS races (anyone doing the 2 mile Jordan Lake swim?) and will probably do the Triangle Ortho sprint to get back into the swing of things.

Don't see anything firm about 36 Degrees North yet, but posted the question on the local Tricows forum site, and also sent an email to the listed email Contact for the organizer of that race from last year.

Will post here if I hear anything.

Also, will probably try to get the July 10th date for Triangle Tri, appears a few others are selecting that particular day as well ... and I also like Saturday tri's.

I wish I had known about Tobacco Road before I signed up for Umstead! Looks like everyone is doing that one. And it's flatter!

Hee hee!!!  The T-shirts that were sold at the Thunder Road half mary said "Flat Is For Sissies."  I can loan you the shirt!  Or maybe I should wear it for Tobacco Road... would be funny, lol.

Louiskie, in no less loving words my wife said to me after sharing my races this year with her..."have you lost your damn mind".  To her so loving question, my retort, "there will more of me to love when in fact there is less of me".

Yes, I've lost my mind and have quite the bug, as well, I think Scottie have bitten off some too!  In fact, a lot of BT'ers have stepped up from what I can tell!

No Triangle Tri this year? ... I see a gap in there between White Lake and IM Louisville ... unless you IM training plan just doesn't allow for any sprints at that time ...

Just added another race for May 22!

Registered for the Warrior Dash!  It's a "fire leaping, mud crawling, beer drinking run from hell...!!!" Woo hoo!!!  It's 2 weeks after the White Lake half, so will be such a fun way to wind down.  I think we'll make it a camping trip and if we're to be warriors we'll have to take some of those giant smoked turkey legs to gnaw off the bone with our beer.  I might not even bother to take any soap; we'll just play in the mud and stay dirty all weekend...

I can't wait to get one of those warrior hats and finisher's medal.  I'm going to wear it at the office and annoy all of my coworkers.
