Subject: TOTW: Race Schedule for 2009

Okay, it is well past the beginning of the year and the GA forum is still quiet.  Time to bring back the TOTW ... and with it, perhaps, some motivation.

Post here your anitcipated race schedule for the year.  We can then see some commonalities and from that coordination in meeting up at both training sessions and at the race(s).

I'll start:

Tundra Time Trial (Feb 09) (r)
ING Marathon (March 29, 09) (half or full?)
Powerman Alabama (April 09)
St. Anthony's (April 26, 09) (r)
Peachtree City Oly (May 09) (relay again?)
<insert epic bike ride in May and/or June here: _____>
Peachtree Road Race (July 09) (Run with wifey again?)
Chattanooga Olympic (July 08) (optional/potential relay)
The London Triathlon (August 10, 09) (? if friend's company sends them again)
Peachtree City Sprint (August 09) (optional)
Augusta 70.3 (September 27, 09) (r)
Kona (because I feel J22 lucky) (lottery (r))

I'm not even thinking this far ahead as I always do races so last minute, but this is what I have in my sights:

January
Resolution Run - done

March
ING Georgia Full or Half

April
Country Music Full or Half

May
Beast of the East Half or Black Bear Half

July
Chattanooga Tri

September
Redman Full
or
A local Half Ironman

October-November
Fall Marathon

I'll probably pick up some other races, but that's what's going on in my head right now for the season.

I'm going to try to add some centuries or other long rides to this list.  I need to get better on the bike anyway.

  • 2/8/09 - Red Top Rumble - vounteering (R)
  • 3/29/09  - ING GA Marathon - wheelchair bike escort (R)
  • 3/7/09 - Chattahoochee Road Runners 10K - volunteering (email in to them)
  • April - My 5K group's race of choice - volunteering or walking
  • 4/25/09 - Grayson Day 5K (if not the same day as the above) 
  • 5/30/09 - ??Rock-n-Roll Man HIM - aquabike??
  • 6/30/09 - Ridges Resort 5K swim
  • 7/4/09 - Peachtree RR 10K - surely I'll be able to run by July
  • 8/15/09 - GA Veterans's Sprint
  • September - Beast of the East HIM  Greater Smokey Mtns Tri Club is not hosting a fall HIM race this year, I guess because of the Augusta race.  Maybe I can talk Doug into SC HIM again this year if the economy improves.
  • December - Kiawah Island Marathon (R) - They are allowing us to use last year's race entries this year because of my foot.  Questionable whether I can ramp up in time.  If not, I'll switch to the half.

    • 4/25 - Xterra Fort Yargo
    • May - MS 150 Savannah -OR-
    • Memphis in May MTB tri or Oly

    Wow! Lots of really ambitious schedules - I think it's great. We'll have a full summer cheering each other on..

    For myself, I plan to do the entire TTP series if I place well enough in the first three races, goal being a podium for the series. That aside, I'll make my schedule up as I go...Mostly short stuff. The only A race on the calendar is B2B Half in November.
