So much in the works for 2011. Its not that I don't want to go as crazy as 2010, I just don't plan on doing an Ironman in 2011. The financial, physical, and emotional commitments necessary to execute a good Ironman are too great to make on an annual basis. For that reason I am challenging myself in a different way for next year. I plan on racing 4 half irons. I have never done more than 2 in a year, so it will most definitely be a challenge. On top of those races I plan on completing some awesome relays. Without further adieu, my potential schedule:
February 27th - Hyannis Half Marathon
March 19th - Holyoke St. Patrick's Day 10K
April 3rd - Westfield Half Marathon
May 1st - Ludlow Sheriff's Sprint Tri
June 5th - Rev3 Half Quassy
June 11-12th - New England Running Relay (220 mile relay with the great Tom Shea)
Jun 18th - Pat Griskus Olympic (USAT Regional Championships 2011)
July 10th - Providence 70.3
August 6th - Swim Across the Sound
August 20th - USAT Age Group National Championship (Burlington, VT)
August 29th - Chicopee Speedo Challenge (Chicopee Sprint Tri)
September 10th* - Housatonic Valley Sprint Triathlon
September 11th - Pumpikinman Half or Ironman 70.3 World Championships (Vegas)
October 2nd - Mightyman Half
July 22, 2012 - Ironman Lake Placid
Looks to be a fun year, hope to see everyone at the races
Cheers,
Paul
