Target races

Yesterday I created “countdown” Outlook events for my three 2009 target races. Thus, every day’s calendar shows how many days and weeks I have till each race. This is reassuring for the Ironmans—lots of time to get back on track; but not so much for the 70.3. Here are my target races:

- Ochsner Ironman 70.3 New Orleans, Sunday, April 5, 2009—103 days, 14½ weeks (eek!)
- Subaru Ironman Canada, Penticton, B.C., Sunday, August 30, 2009—250 days, 35½ weeks
- Ford Ironman Florida, Panama City Beach, Saturday, November 7, 2009—319 days, 45½ weeks
