I have sat down, looked at the calendar, tried to project my work schedules for both of my jobs and made a short list of the events that I will be competing in this race season. There may be additions to the list, in fact, there most likely will, but for now, here is what I have on my calendar:
March 20: St. Patrick's Day 5k run, Bay City. I do this event every year. Most years while wearing firefighter turnout gear and my helmet. One of my favorite events of the year!
April 9: Rust Shaker MTB race, Mid-Michigan Community College, Harrison. I have something to prove to myself here. This is the race I crashed hard in last year, injuring my ribs and shaking my confidence. I will tame the trail this time....
May 14: 12 hours of Stony Creek MTB race. This race will be done as part of a two man team with one of my Team Sandbag Racing teammates. I have always wanted to do an endurance event, and this is a good starting point.
July 3: Volkslaufe 5k run, Frankenmuth. I love this run through Frankenmuth! Always a huge crowd and a great time.
August 21: Ruby Campground MTB race. Ruby, August, TSB, 'nuff said!
October 15: Peak 2 Peak MTB race, Crystal Mountain This is arguably my favorite mountain bike race. The scenic course, the vibe at the venue, and the fact that my family comes along for an overnight stay with me all add to this.
November 5: Iceman MTB race. That is if I get in. I have something to prove here as well after logging my worst time ever in this event. I need to prove that it was a fluke caused by conditions and not my fitness or ability.
