Where to start???? Lots of great local races to get involved with over the next couple of months!!!
Saturday February 20th is the always fun Durham Almond Blossom in Durham. I will not be able to make that one, as I have a class scheduled all next weekend. This run/walk has both 5 and 10 K events, and always has a great "hometown feel".
Next month, is the nearly "infamous" Bidwell Classic - the 34th annual event, on March 6, 2010. This has both 5K and 1/2 marathon components. Not sure which one I will be doing, I had originally planned on running the 1/2 marathon, but my mileage has been just a little "light" lately - so I may opt for the 5K race.
In April, lots of options. A Brand New Triathon, the "Black Butte Triathlon Series" is proposed for April 10 and 11th. Not sure who is putting these races on (the sprint distance is on Saturday, the Olympic Distance on Sunday) but it looks like a great venue. I am planning on doing the Olympic Distance, and call that my "long race" for the season. My early plans for a 1/2 Iron Distance have faded into wishful thinking, as I look at my lack of training over the past couple of months.
Of course, April 25th is the Nationally famous Wildflower Century. This year, they have many many options to choose from - from the easy and simple, to the 100 mile classic that will challenge even the best athletes.
May is City of Gold Month - with the City of Gold Triathlon and Duathon on May 8. Both options are being listed this year, so that the "water shy" athletes have no excuses to not come out and have fun.
June 26th is the Paradise "Mudskipper" at Meadow Brook Ranch. If you only do one event this year, this is the one you HAVE TO DO!!!
A few pic's of last years event are here....
