Spring Racing Season and a new trilogy

Yes I said trilogy again. This time around it does not seem like the Trilogy of Terror like 2008....or even the Quad Factor of 2009

 

I am looking forward to the next month or so. There are several races I enjoy immensely this time of year, finishing off with the Niagara on the Lake 50K Ultra Marathon.

 

This week's Mississauga will be the toughest of the 3. A Boston Qualifying attempt of 3:20:59 or better will take all I have got. It is actually a good thing I was guest speaker at the Rosedale Running room tonight. The topic was Race Prep and it got me to dig up my racde prep notes and tweak them. This caused me to really look at them andf remind me of several items I tend to forget. View that article here

 

Next up is Whitby International North Marathon. I definitely want to run the inaugral event and insert number 2 into my already planned Mississauga / Ottawa. This will be the easiest of the 3 as I will run it with no time goal...other than keeping my sub 4 hour streak alive at 17/17. Ottawa may be tough. I am the 4 hour pace bunny but it will be the 3rd in 3 weeks and I am running the 5k with Cameron the eve before. At sub 21:00 this will be a fairly tough task butr I am up for the challenge. I better be, as the pace bunny devotees will be counting on me. And Ottawa has proven to be a tough event.

 

Last is the 50k Ultra, but I will have 3 weeks after Ottawa to get ready/ One week of easy running. One week of back to back long runs and a one week taper. Goal for that race is to beat last year's 4 hours 39 minutes.

 

Then, Summer to get ready for Scotia (another BQ attempt if....well...) plus Goodlife Marathon, prince Edward county, Niagara Falls and Hamilton Marathons for my new task - the "Cinqo de Maro" - 5 marathons over a 5 week and 1 day period. (6 weekends)

 

Now, need to get to sleep...rest is needed for Mississauga!
