I consider the racing results of the past year to have been successful. A new marathon PR at Marine Corps, a successful run in the tough conditions of Twin Cities, a sprint triathlon finish to use as a benchmark, and a 10K PR at Get in Gear.
For the upcoming year, I have entered my first Olympic distance triathlon. Swimming a respectable 1500m will be a daunting task. Known events for the coming year include:
- Frozen half marathon, Jan 26th — followed by the annual “Drink out of your mug” par-tay at the FRC super secrete hideout.
- Human Race 8K - Mar 19th
- Get-In-Gear 10K - Apr 26th
- Pigman Sprint Tri - Jun 1st
- Lifetime Olympic Tri - Jul 12th
- TNT or Blackdog time trial series?
- Bike club TT challenge (40K)?
The goal will be to work on getting faster at some cost to the longer runs. I’m going to try to actually train for triathlons this year, and — perhaps — I’ll get a new bike.

I found this in the Twin Cities Marathon August Mile Marker email. The Calhoun Executive Center is the building on the north west corner of Lake Calhoun — across the street from Whole Foods. If you’re running in the area, stop by and get yourself a cliff shot you don’t have to carry with you.
Join Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. at Our Second Summer Water Stop, Saturday, August 25
Getting in those final long runs? Stop by the Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. water station in the parking lot of Calhoun Executive Center (3033 Excelsior Blvd.) for some PowerAde and Clif Shots Saturday, August 25 from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and don’t forget to let us know how training is going.
Keep on running.
