We put our race schedule together for this year, tons of racing so a very, very full season with all our favorite midwest classics and a couple intersting new events in our neck of the woods.
What do ST’ers have on the agenda for '09? What races are you planning to do?
Enchanted Rock Duathlon - 4 mile hilly trail run, 16 mile rolling hills bike, 2 mile run up a 500 foot high rock!
Then maybe the Austin 70.3 race
Rockman - duh 
.
Duathlon nats, maybe worlds (now there is a jinx), B2B iron distance. Local GA TT series, various running races. Maybe a local tri just as a tune up.
Shawn
New Orleans 70.3
Destin Fla Elephant Walk Sprint Triathlon
Cajunman Sprint(a classic here in Louisiana)
Meatpie Tri(another classic)
.
A bunch of local area sprints and olys. After my wife going to Kona last year and all the effort involved, it’ll be nice to have fun again. Besides, in this economy it’s best to race locally.
Ironman 70.3 New Orleans and 3 or 4 other local Sprints and Olys.
Most races are up in the air, but a tentative schedule is:
Rockman
QC Triathlon
Hy Vee
Chattanooga Waterfront
IM Canada
.
Duathlon Nat’ls
Pittsburgh Marathon (1/2)
Disney 70.3
Uniontown Triathlon
IM Lake Placid

.
IMLP is the main event this year. Other than that:

More quality work out time, less races this year. We’ll see how that plays out at LP!
