I haven't figured out my schedule for the rest of 2010, aside from IM France and IM Wisconsin. I am pretty sure I will run the Shamrock Marathon in March down in Virginia Beach with my tri club. I love the Mooseman 1/2 and it's about 3 weeks before France, so maybe that's an option. Now that I'm not running Boston, I can join in the fun at the Rumpass in Bumpass triathlon festival down in Lake Anna in April, maybe do the Oly. I REALLY want to do Timberman, but that's pretty close to IM Wisconsin, so I'm not sure. And no Savageman next year either (tears) because it's one week after Wisconsin. But there is chatter that the team will do the Beach2Battleship Half next year, either that or MiamiMan - either one would be great. So yes, next year's racing schedule is going to look REALLY different from this years. Probably not as many 1/2's, no Boston, but maybe I can throw in a fall marathon and a late season half. And, to be honest, I am going to have to be a little less fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants when planning next year's schedule. Two reasons: 1) the two Ironmans will probably take alot of energy, and I want to do them right and if that means less racing, so be it. Plus, the wallet will probably be grateful for a fewer race entry fees. 2) I'm investing in a coach for next year. I'm still staying with Team Z, but I want to get a little more personal attention, hopefully a more aggressive training plan, and be able to get one-on-one feedback after races and such. And I've done my research and think I've found the person - Jen Harrison (her blog is now on my blogroll). I'm not going to have school to occupy all of my time, so I can really put 100% effort into training, racing, and recovering. And, Jen will probably have quite a bit of say in my race schedule to make sure I'm being smart, not stupid.
Okay, back to the paper writing. Yessssss!

I really hope you make it down to VB for the Shamrock Marathon, it will be great to see you. You should also think about the Patriot Triathlon. Depending on how the rest of your schedule looks, with three different distances, it is bound to be a good fit.
Go finish your papers so you can be done school already.
OH yes! We do have a lot to talk about don't we!? :) GOOD....I am looking foward to working together!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I definitely want to make it down your way sometime soon Tricia, it's been far too long since I saw you last. And anytime you are up in the DC area, you and Sean always have a place to stay with us, we have an extra bedroom!
And Jen - I am sooo excited about working with you, it's going to be fun!
Happy Thanksgiving!
