Pumpkinman HIM in Sept, get drunk at IMFL in Nov...then my 2012 are...IMMT. <br /><br />You. Will kick ASS at a stand alone marathon. BQ will be YOURS!!! I have run 5 stand alone marathons and 1 IM marathon, the stand alone ones are WAY easier, but harder on your body after. Recovery is longer, I SWEAR.<br /><br />If you do that, I will go down to Boston (even though I HATE HATE the place) just to see you and hang with Annie to cheer you on. :)Caratunk Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042653100322091843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-57235885861581643062011-08-02T22:30:42.496-05:002011-08-02T22:30:42.496-05:00Awesome schedule!

I don't even want to start thinking about 2012 yet! :) haha<br /><br />BQ-ing in your first marathon would be awesome! I'm still about 20-25 minutes away myself (3:26 and need 3:05 with the new times). I've sort of given up on the prospect of qualifying at this point. I just don't feel like I could go back to focusing just on running; I love the swimming and biking too much.Ironman By Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148960105643826347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-66295540210669929982011-08-02T21:19:54.755-05:002011-08-02T21:19:54.755-05:00Guess we won't be seeing much of each other th...Guess we won't be seeing much of each other this fall since I will be peaking in October.

I know I want to do my first HIM next year, probably the Westchester Toughman in September or possibly 70.3 Poconos, depending how the first one goes this fall. I'll run a half marathon or possibly a full this spring (hate winter training though! Long runs in February snow? Yuck) and find an early season sprint or olympic to kick things off, then likely Quassy olympic distance and the NYC Tri... then possibly the NYC marathon in November. I get guaranteed entry every year but don't feel obligated to use it.
