2011 Schedule

I have pretty much settled on my race schedule for 2011. At the request of my wife, I am running less races this year (I ran a total of 11 last year). This means I will be focusing on some key races and not trying to repeat my win in the Ultrarunner.net race series. Trying to compete in a race series means running as many events as possible to accumulate points. Winning the Ultrarunner.net race series last year was a huge highlight for me - but racing takes a lot of time and money. I'm hoping to focus more on training and hopefully that will carry over to my race times. The only (planned) hiccup in my training is the two week family vacation to Scotland in March. Hopefully I will get a chance to run some hills in Scotland - how cool would that be. So hare are my planned races for 2011. Hope to see you on the trails!
