Hey tri peepz. Finally. The 24 hour gym wasn't cutting it!<br><br>
What's on your calendar for 2008?<br><br>
March-ING Half Marathon-Atlanta<br><br>
May-Gulf Coast Tri (half iron-Panama City Beach)-I have some spanking to do on that course<br><br>
July-Ironman Lake Placid<br><br>
November-Ironman Arizona<br><br>
And whatever else CS tells me to do. I'm his tri-bitch.

 

[theia]

Tentative list:<br><br>
Caesar Rodney Half Marathon - March<br>
Brandywine Valley Duathlon - April<br>
Broad Street Run - May<br>
Thundergust Duathlon - June<br>
Lake Placid Mini Tri - July<br>
Some late season Olympic Tri -- TBD (I'm open to suggestions in the Mid-Atlantic area... Iron Girl?)<br>
Cape Henlopen Du or Tri - September/October<br>
Philly Marathon - November

 

[LookiLoo]

OK, I think 2008 will look like this...<br><br>
March - VA beach half marathon<br>
April - Riverwood sprint<br>
June - Kerr Lake Oly<br>
August - Steelhead HIM ...my first HIM!<br>
November - Richmond marathon. Maybe<br><br>
I might throw in a sprint in September or October just to get in one last tri for the season, depending on how I feel after steelhead, and how the marathon training is going.<br><br>
Tithers - 2 IM's in 2008??? You are amazing!

 

[Tithers]

Do you live in upstate NY?

 

[Tithers]

No, just CRAZY. Sheldon told me I am. He tried to talk me out of it.

 

[theia]

Me? No. But we'll be in Lake Placid so IronHubby can do IMLP for the third consecutive year. You and I must hook up before then so I know who else to cheer for! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[Tithers]

Yay...I have another friend on another forum who is doing it too! We'll def. meet up! YAY! New friend!<br><br>
If you haven't noticed. Tithers likes people. Most of the time!

 

[theia]

Theia likes how Tithers speaks of herself in the third person.<br><br>
That is all.<br><br><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I'm new here...a possible convert from "another board".<br><br>
I am a social racer, so there are lots in the works:<br><br>
1/13/08 - Houston Marathon (I have a serious bone to pick with the little 26.2 distance, so AAA race)<br>
1/27/08 - 3M Austin 1/2 (maybe)<br>
2/9/08 - Surfside 1/2 Marathon - all on a beach, lots of fun<br>
2/17/08 - Austin 1/2 or Whole Marathon...hopefully just the half<br>
3/16/08 - Seabrook 1/2 Marathon<br>
3/30/08 - Lonestar 1/2 Ironman (just swim and bike, will have someone run for me)<br>
4/13/08 - IMAZ - other AAA race of the year. Using Tithers as inspiration I hope to take a chunk off my 15:31 from last year<br>
5/10/08 - Gulf Coast 1/2 Ironman<br>
June, July, August - lots of local sprints<br>
October/November - 1-2 HIM's, no idea yet

 

[Tithers]

Yay! It's going to be a non-sexual GCT orgie! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tithers]

Tithers likes Theia too!

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Scheduled as of now</span><br>
Gainesville Five Points of Life Marathon - Feb 17<br>
Timberman HIM - Aug 17

 

[Tithers]

I wanna do Timberman. Not convenient though<img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br>
I'd feel like such the ...lumberjack when I got through!

 

[mmoonptdeux]

I have all sorts of weirdness that really prevents a good solid schedule from taking shape<br><br>
I had an overseas work detail that was set to take place in January, but that's not happening now. However, it threw off plans for the Napa Valley Marathon in March. However, said work detail probably will happen in mid-June and eat up 6-8 weeks.<br><br>
I've been nursing a bunch of slow healing, nagging injuries, and am awaiting a relatively clean bill of health before taking up training with a vengeance again.<br><br>
I have a voucher for a business-class ticket to Japan that I won at a relay race that I probably should use before it expires. If I do use it, it probably would happen in April or early September.<br><br>
In other words, who knows at this point!

 

[Tithers]

Rent a bike and do a Japanese tri!

 

[mmoonptdeux]

Interesting thought - does anyone know where I can find a triathlon calendar for Japan?<br><br>
I did look into Japanese marathons - only ones that work are Nagano in April and Hokkaido in September (Tokyo is lottery only a la NYC, and by the time the next one came around, my voucher would be expired.)

 

[theia]

I was thinking the same thing! I wonder if anyone here knows of any. Or maybe Mr. Soul. His wife did a race in .... Japan?? Korea?? It was a half Ironman. Or maybe a full. Ah crap, I'm really not helping, am I???

 

[niemsco]

I'm new here also, I haven't converted from my old site, so I'm not really here, but wanted to check this out.<br><br>
March - March Madness Half Marathon - IL<br>
April - IMAZ - Anyone do this one last year? How is it... except for looongg.<br>
May - Madison 1/2 Marathon - WI<br>
June - Rockman Tri Half - IL<br>
July - Spirit of Racine 1/2 - MI<br>
August - Steelhead 1/2 - MI<br>
Sept - IM MOOOOOOO - WI<br>
Oct - maybe Chicago Marathon (if they can figure out how to supply their water stations)

 

[Tithers]

Niem...<br><br>
WTPJ (Where's the Porto-John) lives at mile 100 on the bike course for IMOO. Be friendly w/her...she'll make you a sign or something!

 

[hahaoya]

I only know of two certainties for 2008:<br><br>
February 3rd - Surf City half<br>
April 20 - Toyota Desert Sprint Triathlon<br><br>
I have a bunch of race goals, but not sure exactly which races I'll sign up for.
