2009 has been a busy year for me athletically. I've been blessed enough to have completed 3 half marathons, 3 triathlons, 2 10k, Vineman 70.3 Ironman, and the New York City Marathon. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with those results.
For those of you out there that challenge yourself to compete in races - you know the feeling that you get right before the gun goes off. It's that drive and determination and most importantly the dedication that got you to where you are. All of the training is behind you. The preparation has led you to this moment of truth. Did you train enough? Will you reach your target time? Or did you slack on a few days and skip scheduled training days? For me race day is an incredible experience. Planning my race schedule is the first step.
I've been planning the 2010 race schedule and here's my planned races so far. If you have any suggestions of races to do please do tell. I'm still researching which Ironman 70.3 I'll be doing in 2010, so details to follow.
