Upcoming Weekend of Racing
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008In an effort to race myself into better shape, I’ve got a back-to-back weekend of races planned.
The first is the TX Tri quasi-olympic distance race down in Canyon Lake on Saturday. It’s supposed to be a pretty hilly race, so it should be tough – distances are 1.5K S, 42K B, 9.5K R, so not exactly Olympic, but close enough. It’ll be interesting to see who shows up for this race. When it was a spring race, the times were faster.
Then, on Sunday is the IBM Uptown Classic 10K. It’s relatively flat, but I’ll be trying to drop my times down from last year by a bit, so it’ll be painful. I’m hoping the weather stays nice and cool for this one. This is the race that sent a group of us down a wrong turn last year, so I have no idea what my time really was.
After those, just a few more events on the calendar – IronStar 1/2 Iron on the 9th of November, maybe the Tour das Hugel the week after, the Turkey Trot of course, and Decker 1/2 marathon. Lots of fun racing packed into the rest of the year…
