Alright I just got off the phone with coach and we now have the 2011 race season and Kona attempt mapped out. That makes my stomach flip just thinking about it. So anyone interested in racing with me here is what I am "Allowed" to do. My coach sanctioned races:
4-2: Boiler Sprint Tri (Sprint)- http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~triclub/springracing.html - This is a new on for me. I have never done a pool swim for a race.
4-30: Kentucky Derby Marathon (Duh)- http://www.derbyfestivalmarathon.com/ - I really like this race. Kentucky is beautiful, and the race is not as crowded as Indy. At least in my humble opinion. It is however a lot more hilly.
5-14: 180 Triathlon (Olympic)- http://www.hfpracing.com/events/2011/one-eighty-tri-du - another new event for me. I like the event company. They are very good and always top notch.
6-12: Eagleman 70.3 - http://www.tricolumbia.org/Eagleman/ - Trying to decide if I am going to take my son on this trip or not. Probably not because he will be playing soccer. But I am going solo, there is a tweet-up planned. This'll let me know how I am fairing towards my Louisville race and ultimately Kona.
7-16: Evergreen Tri (Olympic) - http://tri-shark.org/web/EvergreenTri2/ - Wow I have a drive for this one. But it will be in a new state for tri's for me.
8-28: Ironman Louisville (Iron Dist) - http://www.ironmanlouisville.com/ - My finger tremble as I type this, excited and scared sh*tless. I hate not knowing. I do not want to fail and let my family down. I will not fail! I will not quit! I WILL SUCCEED!!!! I can not wait to see my family at the end of this race.
So there it is 6 short races on my road to Kona. I have to put my heart and head in the right place and it will happen. I have a wonderful family, great support, and faith in God that I am walking, no running and racing, in the right path.
Hey!! Your doing Derby??? I so want to do that but I can't. I may fit it in my schedule to come down to cheer you on. I have friends in that area from college. Or maybe I'll do the half..things to ponder. You can do it. I know you can. I believe in you. Trust in god and put one foot in onther
ReplyDeleteRob and I are doing the Derby Marathon. You went to school in L'Ville? I did not know that. I went to Bellarmine. Come on down, the more teammates the merrier.
