Big news... Race list for 2010 all set!

In my last post, I came up with a list of races that I had hoped to do... well, by sheer luck, good timing, and some donations my race list for 2010 is complete. Here is what I'm looking forward to:

• June 6 - Rev 3 Half Ironman at Quassy Park in Middlebury, CT
• July 17 - Narragansett "Save-the-Bay" 1.7 mile fundraising swim
• FIRM Old Colony YMCA Olympic Triathlon (Hopefully on a different day than the swim)
  

And here is the exciting news... my "A" race for next year will be:

• Sept 12 - Rev3 Full ironman at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, OH

There it is. In September of next year, I will attempt to become a true endurance athlete in my attempts to complete a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bicycle ride, and then run a full marathon of 26.2 miles.

The reason this news was on hold was that the registrations to the Rev3 races were made through Ebay charity auctions to raise money to benefit the WarOnALS and the BLAZEMAN Foundation. For those of you that don't know the story of John "BLAZEMAN" Blais... I invite you to watch a short documentary on his journey here.

So now the easy part is done.... time to start training. If you notice I added a training mileage log on the left to track my progress and how far I'll travel in my season. I'll post the cumulative updates along side the weekly mileage.
