2011 Race Schedule

Minh made me sit down last week and plan out my 2011 race schedule.. as best as I could. It seriously took me about a week to figure out what events I really wanted to do and what events I could skip so that I got good training in rather than racing all the time… And also make sure that I didn’t get burned out on racing or signed up for races spontaneously all year…

Current List of Events for 2011:
OC Chili Winter Trail Run Series – O’Neill Regional Park, Mission Viejo, CA
Kenda Cup West Series – throughout SoCal
Traverse – BlackStar Canyon to Trabuco Canyon, Silverado, CA
Huntington Beach Pier Swim (maybe) – Main Street Pier, Huntington Beach, CA
Harding Hustle 30/50K – Harding Truck Trail, Silverado, CA
Xterra Off-Road Triathlons and SoCal Trail Runs (not all, but some)
Xterra USA Championships – Snowbasin Resort, Ogden, UT
Disneyland Half Marathon – Disneyland, Anaheim, CA
Pacific Coast Triathlon – Crystal Cove, Newport Beach, CA
OC International Triathlon – Mission Viejo, CA
Triple Crown Series – throughout SoCal
Santiago Canyon Time Trials (maybe) – Santiago Canyon, CA
SoCal Cross (maybe) – throughout SoCal

I tried to mix things up a bit in terms of events, but generally it’s a lot of off-road events and A LOT of mountain biking. I would LOVE to qualify for Xterra Worlds in Maui, but we’ll see. Should be a good year, though.. better than 2010 maybe?
