Third Anniversary Of This Blog

Yesterday, Tuesday, December 28, 2010, was the third anniversary of this humble little blog. It has been a bit adrift since completing Ironman Arizona in November of 2008, but I anticipate that with my goal of finishing another Ironman in November, 2011 approaching, I will again be a much more active blogger.

New Race Schedule

I have a slight update to my racing schedule. I have decided to do the Safari Park Half Marathon rather than Surf City. It is the inaugural race and I really like the San Diego Safari Park (formally the San Diego Wild Animal Park). I am somewhat familiar with the area not only because I have been to the Wild Animal Park a number of times, but because we drive right by it when The Great Magnetic Wife and I spend time at my parents’ cabin in Julian. I have no idea whether I will feel like walking around the park after a half-marathon, but admission is included.

New 2010 racing schedule:

March 10: Zoo Safari Park Half-Marathon

April 17: Bonelli Sprint

May 15: Bonelli Intermediate Distance

June 12: Bonelli Olympic Distance

November 6: New York City Marathon

November 20: Ironman Arizona
