I've done 1 sprint tri already, and I'm signed up for 2 more. I'm also signed up for 3 Oly's at the moment. I'll probably end up doing some 5k/5m/10k/10 mile running races as well.

Oh and I did a metric century already as well.

Only a few. Ironman Western Austrailia is my key race this year. So, a few half IM's and then the big show for me.

It will be strange not to race every weekend this season. I am so accustomed to doing so.

Yeah, I remember the single focus years, focus on one race, then blow it and the season goes to waste.................Mine happened to be a major event, but I learned a great lesson............

San Jose Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 marathon
Silicon Valley marathon
Am signed up for IMCDA, but my training has been sidelined by a newborn. I'm volunteering instead.

Don't you know...Speedy does not train. He gets in shape by racing 64 times per year. If you race that often, throw in a couple of bike rides and the odd run per week and you are good to go :-)

I'll race 13-14 times this year Feb-Sep:
  • 4x50K XC ski
  • 1x30K XC ski
  • 4xHalf Ironman
  • 1xIronman
  • Muskoka Long Course
  • 1xOlympic
  • 1xhalf marathon (possibly twice)

Edit: This is my "I'm half the man Joe Boness is"....just take my planned half Ironman schedule and replace with Ironman and substract the XC ski schedule and you pretty well have what Joe would do...

Neither do I :-)

Once Victoria's Du rolls around it's at least one multisport event per weekend, plus mid week TT & the occasional mid week running race.

For me, racing is fun, training not so much. I don't think I could make the time & expense commitment & only do a few events.

I'm figuring on 6-7 running races(3 5ks, 1 8k, 2 10, and a half mary)

Hoping to do 4 tris, one of which will be a half IM.

The hoping refers to injury possibilities, as last season, my first, got derailed really fast by them.

             I wasn't going to list the events that I have planned as I wasn't sure if they would all pan out and I figured ST's wouldn't really be interested in Ultra-endurance triathlons.Things have changed this week with a few sponsors coming on board and at least the first four races are taken care of for this year.I replied to you Dev as I fugure you might be into it given that you seem to be an Ultra-nutter. :)

JUNE 6th:Oliver Half Iron-Oliver B.C
JULY 8th-9th:Canadian Double Ironman Champs-Quebec
AUGUST 26th:Ironman Canada-Penticton B.C.
SEPT 1st-3rd:Ultraman Canada-Penticton B.C
OCT 5th-7th: USA Triple Ironman Champs-Virginia
NOV 5th-15th:World Deca-Iron Challenge-Mexico
DECEMBER:Drunk at my brothers house in Austin.
