I'm super organized so I'm panicking that I can't set my schedule through June right now, haha. So far I only have the New Orleans Rock & Roll Half on March 4th (for American Cancer Society DetermiNATION).0

Right now I have the following planned -
Febuary - Long John Jaunt half marathon
April - fitness competition.
May - Cabot Trail Relay race (don't have leg picked yet, most are between 15-21 k). I also have a registration for the Halifax half marathon in May from last year. I rolled it over because I didn't want to run a HM then the relay the next weekend, but it looks like they are a week apart again. I may run the 10k instead of the HM for that.
July - no date set, usually around the first weekend, Ingonish sprint tri (it was my first race ever and I will return every year I can).
There are two other local tris that I will be doing, not sure if I will bump up to olympic or not. Dates aren't set yet but I know one is in August.
And a pile of local 5 - 10 k races. I don't think we have set our races schedule yet, but there is usually one or two a month. I go to whatever ones my work schedule allows. I will book time off for the above noted races.0 -

That is ultra-organized, I LOVE it! I also love that you gave each race a priority. Good idea!0 -

Good luck with your race! I ran my first 70.3 this year and it was tuff but I had a blast.0 -
With races opening up for next year, what does your race schedule look like next year?
What are yours? Staying with HIM's? Pretty addictive, aren't they?
I toggle back and forth: "Epic" season then "fun" season. Repeat ad infinitum. 2011 was "Epic". Savageman 100. My God, what was I thinking? So 2012 is all fun stuff. Nothing on the docket, and races probably won't be added till a month or two before. I may throw in a local HIM, but nothing to really spend the next 10 months pursuing.
It sounds boring, but it's actually nice to be able to float through a season, just enjoying it as I go. It keeps the burnout in check.0 -
I finally paid my money...
2012 AAA goal race - Ironman Wales Sept 16th.0 -
Yeesh... I actually plotted my race schedule for 2012 on a calendar and realized it doesn't leave a lot of actual training/recovery time. I may have to pass on a few of the ones I wanted to do for this year just because I really want to focus on building a much larger base to work off of for 2013 when I get the balls to do a full IM.0

New to the group -- hola, everyone!
I'm brand spanking new to triathlons this year. When I say "new" I mean that I haven't even tried running in 20 years and I've just started to take lessons to learn to swim. Doing a tri was on my "Goals for 2013" list until a friend signed up for a half-sprint tri and said, "Come on, you know you want to!" It's a teeny, tiny tri, but given that I'm learning two of the three components from the ground up, I'm okay with that (for this year).
I'm primarily a distance cyclist. Back in December I planned out my rides for 2012 without a thought to a triathlon. My biggest challenge in 2012 -quite frankly, my biggest athletic challenge ever- will definitely be the GranFondo Whistler in September. Just last week I registered for the 5K in March so that I could have a running goal. If I can make 5K by March running the entire event, then I should be able to do a decent 1.5 mile run by June.
March 11, 2012: Shamrocks & Shenanigans 5K Run
May 5, 2012: Bike Ypsi Spring Ride & Festival (33 miles)
June 9, 2012: Michigan Mountain Mayhem (100km)
June 24, 2012: Tri Goddess Tri (.25 mile swim, 10.7 mile bike, 1.5 mile run)
July 14, 2012: One Helluva Ride (100 miles)
Sept. 8, 2012: GranFondo Whistler (75.8 extremely hilly miles -- the big one!)
Sept. 15, 2012: Tour de Troit (25 miles)
Sept. 16, 2012: Taco Tour Cinco (15 miles) mmmm taco tour
Sept. 30, 2012: Apple Cider Century (100 miles)
Oct. 14, 2012: Tour de Livingston (62 miles)
Nov. 16, 2012: Silver Bells Electric Light Parade, (2 miles) Cyclists wear lights and form a living "float" in the parade - sweet!
If I find a Sprint tri in the Fall after my big Whistler ride, I may do that. My goal for 2013 will be an Olympic distance tri.0 -
I have 3 races scheduled so far. The Hy-Vee 5150 is my goal race for the year. I want to finish in the top 10 of my age group. I am hoping to add another Olympic distance or a 70.3 at the end of the year.
4-28 Drake on the roads 1/2 marathon
5-19 Penny's Pieathlon / Sprint - yes they serve pie to all finishers
6-24 Copper Creek / Sprint
9-2 Hy-Vee 51500
