Race Time

Fall is in the air. Time to plan the next season worth of races. I thought I would put my ideas out here, see if I can't get anyone to join up.

Sat., Nov. 7: Stinson Beach 25k and 7 mile race (NorCal) I am signed up for the 25k. Friend in town.

Feb. 27, 2010: Catalina Half-marathon? I don't know if I can sneak away for this, but maybe. This was the first race where I beat Harry. Proud moment for me.

March 20, 2010: Moab Half-marathon. Is this dead? Are we ever doing this again? Looks like we all hate this.

Spring Break, 2010: Run Mauna Loa summit trail over to Volcano National Park. 23 miles. (Big Island, HI) The big island is my favorite, not an organized event, just me (and my friend Kim) so far, but everyone needs a Hawaii vacation. Come with us.

June 5, 2010: Shadow of the Giants 50k and 20k. (By Yosemite) I am committed to the 50k, will sign up soon.

If I injure myself or something, then I am doing Fontana Days: Worlds Fastest Half Marathon on Jun 5.

Jun 18, 19, 20: Maybe Ragnar Wasatch Back? Phoenix was too hard, LA wasn't well organized. I think they have over-expanded, but maybe the original would be ok? It's so expensive.

September, 2010: I have an itch to re-do the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim. Anyone? Anyone?

I am also open to join other teams / races / triathlons (sprint, preferably, I got burned out on the longer stuff). Just let me know, I will race. Also thinking of adding some other PCTR. Maybe leave ideas in the comments?

  2. Moab is really just too far away and involves lots of driving for such a short stint in the beauty of nature.

    And it's awfully close to Boston.

    But I miss it too.

    I think Big H. is seriously considering Death Valley in December. I will tell him to let you know though.

  3. I swore off running this year also and like Hannah, I miss it. I still want to do Fontana and my dream is the rim to rim. I want to do at least one half next year.

  4. I am thinking yes for Catalina, and yes for Rim to Rim. I kind of like Moab, but it is far away. The hats are unbeatable, though. And frankly the trophies are pretty cool (if you are in the geezer category there is always hope).

  5. I could get into doing the Grand Canyon again. Hawaii is a distant dream, but on the off chance, do you have dates for when you'd go?

    Also: want to do the San Jose Muddy Buddy race with me? It's kind of a lot of money for a short race but it seems really fun. They don't have 2010 dates posted yet.

    AND: Are you down here for Thanksgiving? I think I'm doing to do Topanga Turkey Trot (15k).

  6. hmm, not planning on being down in LA for Thanksgiving, so probably no on that. I did one of those mud things last year and felt sort of meh about it. Let's do grand canyon again. That was fun.

  9. I think you should add Hood-to Coast to your list so you can come and visit Portland when the weather is actually nice.
