Wow, what a year it's been! Knowing that August 28 was going to be the ultimate test of endurance, I raced as much as possible throughout the summer. I tend to use races for my longer workouts, as it helps stave off the boredom and keeps me honest, and managed to find something almost every weekend from the beginning of May through Labor Day – not bad. Even better was remaining injury-free!
Here's the short version.
- 12 half-marathons
- 2 marathons
- 1 half-iron tri
- First full Ironman
- 1 200-mile relay
- 8 triathlons of assorted distances (two winter indoor tris not listed below)
- 1 sprint duathlon
- 8 assorted running races
I used a couple of the half-marathons as long recovery walks/jogs, and took advantage of the opportunity to walk them with people dear to me. That was a nice break and a welcome chance to relax. Below is a more detailed list of the year's events.
