The Sked For This Season

Training is rolling along nicely. 18.5 weeks and counting till the big smashfest in Muskoka. For this post I thought I would lay out the events that I have either locked in or are considering for this season. Man can only train so much. The events are where the fun is. Its the reward for all the hard training. A t-shirt.....a medal....seeing the results on the web. When I toe the start line in Muskoka this September the hard work will all be behind me. Don't get me wrong I will have 6+ hours of work to do that day.....BUT I have been aiming for this race for about a year and a half. The journey just to the start line sees many sacrifices and significant self discovery. Race day is the fun time.

I have joined the Durham Region Triathlon Club www.ironmotivation.com/triclub

They do some nice group stuff. Starts on May 23rd for a group ride and then a club social. A chance to get to know everyone. Then starting June 6 on Saturdays we swim for an hour at Pefferlaw Beach and then cycle back to Whitby. I think they are also organizing a trip up to Muskoka for a chance to pre-ride the bike portion of the Ironman. Giddy up.

Events for the season

June 21 - Olympic Tri in Guelph

July 26 - Either Olympic Tri in Chemong Lake or Whitby Half Marathon...have not decided which one yet.

August 29 - Olympic Tri in Coburg
August 30 - United Way Bike Ride

September 13 - Subaru Ironman Muskoka

October 25 - Ajax Half Marathon

So that is what the season is looking like.
