Race Schedule

So we have been debating taking a 2 week family vacation to Europe this summer and this week we decided to take the plunge and purchased the airline tickets! So France and Italy for two weeks at the end of June.

So what does that mean for my race schedule? There are two weeks right in the heart of the training and racing season that I will be gone and not training. Well my thought process is to have an A race right before we leave, and then another one at the end of August, which will give me almost 2 months to prepare for.

So I chose my A race for June, and then found out that they are cancelling it. Bummer, but I have a backup race ready to go with Trinona in mid-June. My other A race is Superiorman at the end of August. I really liked this race last year and wanted to do it again and try to improve.

Then there was a Facebook announcement this week that they moved the date up 2 weeks to Aug 10th and they are only doing a 70.3 length. AAAHHHHH! That is NOT what I needed to hear. With the running issues I have, a 70.3 is not in the cards for this year. 

There is no other olympic distance race in Minnesota or Wisconsin at the end of August. So now the end of my season is in question.
