Pretty aggressive calendar, an event every month, but in a way, better than this year where I had 3-4 events a month. Will probably end up that way as the year progresses, especially in the summer months.

What’s notable? My first 70.3 Half Ironman events! Two marathons! Maybe the Scenic Shore Bike Ride in Wisconsin with Badgercast! What’s missing?  Sadly, Hood  to Coast in August (we missed the entry deadline for the first time in 15 years!!) unless I find a team that needs a new member; Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic, same time as Vineman 70.3; Rev3 70.3, same time as Vineman 70.3.

So, let’s hit it. 38 weeks to my first Half Ironman! Bring it (sorry, Tony Horton)!
