Updated 2007 race calendar

Hak may be a busy beaver in 2007.

I just completed the 2007 race calendar and dang…that’s a lot of traveling.

And a lot of diverse training.

My major suck is in cycling and running. Since the most positive impact on my overall time will come on the bike, that is the discipline I will focus my energies on in the year ahead. To force me onto a higher plane, I’m now a USCF Cat 5 racer for Team Pro Cyclery. I look forward to getting my ass spanked and completely humbled on my training rides over the next few months.

Should be fun.

Although the race schedule may not show it, I would like to break the year into the following macro-cycles:

• Run (Feb-Apr)
• Bike (May-July or May-September)
• Swim (Aug-September (pending team entry in 24 Hours of Triathlon))
• Run (Oct)
• Strength (November-December)

Naturally, the schedule is fluid as I would like to add a few more road races. I’ll wait to see how the team develops and what my role will be: water boy or racer.

With any racing calendar, of course, the main determining factor is family support and available training time to squeeze in between two jobs, a book project or three, and budget. While you can’t control any of the former, you can help with the latter a smidge by visiting a few of the advertisers on the left-hand sidebar “Race Fees Paid By…”

Hint. Hint.
