Setting a plan for 2013
So, I have 2 races on the schedule in the next couple of months. Race on the Base on the 23rd of February and Oceanside 70.3 at the end of March. I'm looking forward to both of these races for different reasons.
Race on the Base is a local reverse sprint triathlon held on a local military base. It's a fun race to start the season, I get to see a lot of my friends at this race. The run and bike are on the base's runway so there is no traffic to worry about and there is plenty of room for passing on the bike. It's also nice as it falls near my birthday, last year it was the day after, and this year it's the day before. The only drawback is the short swim, only 200 meters, though I usually end up with one of the top swim splits in my age group.
Oceanside is an entirely different ball game. I didn't finish last year, I was pulled from the course mid-way through the run. The goal this year is to make it to the finish line before the cutoff.
