Race Schedule

This season's race schedule is proving difficult to put together, mainly because of family events and reserve duty that I haven't had to deal with before. The Pocatello 50 mile trail run was sold out before I could put together a team, and one teammate isn't available this year anyway because he's on National Guard training (and this also dropped our Grizzly Man plans in April). Over Memorial Day, my niece is graduating high school, so I can't do the Rigby triathlon.

However, Janet's Triathlon in West Yellowstone is still available for me, and if the date is June 19, as expected but not published yet, I'll be doing that for sure. This was the first tri I ever did, and we do a family trip to Yellowstone National Park; it's a great weekend overall. This year, we hope to rent a cabin in the Hebgen Lake area the night before to make it a bit easier.

I'll be gone for much of the last part of August, so I can't do the Rexburg or Bear Lake tris, both which I would love to do so I can compare times against previous years to guage improvements. Also, I love the venues. But I won't be doing them. The Bear Lake Brawl was moved to August instead of the weekend after Labor Day, unfortunately.

I am thinking about doing the Jordanelle and Twin Falls tris, but we'll see. I have to fit in some fishing trips somewhere, too!
