[robreddy]

So now that pretty much all the 07 LC racing is done - we need to get a list of what HIM and IMs people are dooing in 08. We have listed this info under the Long Course section of the web site - SOOOO if you DO NOT want your info listed please indicate that in your response other wise you will be going on PUBLIC record of your intentions for 08 ;]

Also if you could list your email (optional) that would help in getting this list together.

[TimAckley]

Jodi,

Good luck with qualifing for the 70.3, that would be awesome... I would like to do that myself sometime soon...


My Race season;

Jan.: ING Miami Half Marathon....

Something before IMAZ, just not sure what... Was looking at a Oly in Miami in March...

April: IMAZ...

May: DeSoto Triple-T...

June: IMCDA...

August: GCT or Great Buckeye Half... Buck Creek Oly...

Sept.: Portage Lakes... Oly

Sept.: Toyota Challenge Half...

October: Columbus Marathon...

[Aussie Rob]

June 29th - Mountaineer HIM
August 10th - GCT HIM
September 7th - IMMoo

The HIMs will be B races. I figure ill start a 4 week taper for IM after GCT. There will be a couple of sprints and maybe an oly in there somewhere too...but those are flexible.

[andrewjoyce]

IMFL

[JimJacko]

IMAZ

Mountaineer (?)

Musselman

IMC

[ddoren]

Cleveland 1/2 marathon

Mountaineer HIM

GCT HIM

maybe a couple Olys in between

All leading up to IM Wisconsin

If everything holds up, possibly Columbus Marathon to end the year

[MarkD]

As a training tool for my olympic schedule, I plan to do at least one Half IM. Not sure which one though. Timing-wise it looks like Mountaineer is ideal, but we'll see....

As a side note - I'm seriously considering doing the entire HFP Wheelie Fun series (olympic distance). Anyone else interested (I know Roger has done this in the past)?

[bprack]

IMAZ
Mountaineer
GCT
USAT Long Course Nats.

I'm sure there will be more racing but these are the ones on the books

[Nathan]

In:

Ironman Brazil (May)
Ironman Wisconsin (September)

Miami Marathon (January)
NYC Marathon (November)

Considering:

MiamiMan Half (November)

[Jack Carney]

IN:

IMKY
Cleveland Half Marathon
Mountaineer
GCT

Deciding between:
Steelhead and Spirit of Racine

Possibly a sprint or Oly mixed in.

Charlie I am with you on New Orleans 09. Don't worry about the gators they just make you swim faster.

[Eric]

Mountaineer HIM
Thinking about Musselman HIM
Maybe GCT HIM
IM MOO

Who knows what else amongst all of that.

Mark, I did the HFP series in '05. It was fun. You could do very wellin the series based upon your past season.

[Matt Luck]

So the schedule changes daily.

Looks like I might be adding IMJayhawk 70.3 for my June Race.

[Steve Yutzy]

Although my race schedule always tends to be tentative, here's what I'm thinking right now:
Spring classic 1/2 marathon
Cleveland marathon
Some HIM (still up in the air, maybe steelhead?)
Great Lakes Escape (this would be 5 years in a row)
There will probably be a few other reaces in there as well, and at least one sprint for the pure fun of being done in an hour and, well, sprinting

[jkneubel]

Here's the plan for '08:

May 18th - Cleveland Marathon

June - An OLY distance as a B race

August 10th - Greater Cleveland HIM

[sarazim]

Cleveland Half Marathon: May

Steelhead or GCT HIM: August

Chicago Marathon: October

[m gorris]

For me: NOTHING LONG

After 4 years of 70.3 and 140.6 it is time to get back to my roots. Short course triathlon and duathlon and short [5k/10k] road racing. I miss going fast !!!
I will live vicariously through all of you!

[Brandon]

After my first 70.3 and stand alone half-mary last year I'm looking forward season #2.

Looking to peak late summer for:
Steelhead 70.3
Fall marathon (my first): Maybe Akron or Columbus....or Philly if Steelhead wipes me out big time.

Undecided Spring Half-mary:
Cleveland or,
Spring Classic, or
my Beast of the NE choice, Mill Creek Classic

If my winter training is on par:
Little Smokies 70.3

[morena]

January: Arizona Marathon

March/April: early running races that Hermes puts on - especially hoping to do the 10 miler usually held in April

May: perhaps and early HIM in North Carolina and then the big race of my year: Triple T with my teammate, Katy

June: rest; and then maybe a fun sprint or OLY (like Mountaineer since it seems like everyone's going)

July: Musselman HIM; maybe another fun sprint

August: GCT - not sure which distance; would love to do Great Lakes Escape too

Fall: if I'm in good health I'll probably try to do alocal half-marathon and the usual little 5Ks

Looking forward to a fun and healthy 2nd season! email: [e-mail]

[ryanchittester]

The plan is...

May - Little Smokies HIM

June - Fat Rabbit OLY or Wendy's Sprint

July - IMLP (my first IM!)

Aug. - GCT, probably OLY

Sept. - maybe, just maybe.... Deer Creek HIM
