2010 Race Season

Late last year I laid out a skeleton plan of races I wanted to do that aligned with my goals of improving my Half IM time, and setting a PR by 30-45 minutes. These races include Wildflower, Kansas Half, and Pigman Half. So, with the 'cornerstone' races set, I've added the rest to complete the season. Below is the list with the date, race name, distance, and category(A, B, or C)

2/13 - Red Flannel Run - 5 miles - C
early April - Loop the Lake - 8K - C
late April - Drake 1/2 or 8K - C
5/2 - Wildflower - 70.3 - A
5/16 - Jordan Creek Duathlon - 2K, 20K, 2K - B
6/4 - Kansas Half - 70.3 - A
6/13 - Hy-Vee - Oly - B
8/3 - Big Creek - Oly - A
8/22 - Pigman Half - 70.3 - A

This is what I have mapped out for this year. This year is a little different in that the season will be almost over by the middle of June, wheras in the past that is when the season really gets started. I can tell you that my training thus far this year has surpassed my recent past training as far as quality, volume, and intrinsic motivation.
