HMT 2015 Upcoming Races Listing (Read 37 times)


an amazing likeness

    Here's the place to post a quick note about what the races in plan on running in 2015. Share whatever details you have and we will get it added to the 2015 race calendar for our group here on RA. The races don't need to be half marathons and they don't have to be goal races, they just have to be what you'd like to share and report back on.

     

    For example:

     

    Date: Jan 28th

    Race: Texas Armadillo Trot Half

    Event URL: http://www.texashalf.com/

    Distance: 13.1 Miles

    Location: Dallas, TX, USA

    Goal Time: 1:49:59

     

    Don't worry if you don't have or don't want to share a goal or two for the race. We'd still love to hear about what you are running. If the event has a website please do let us know what the link (url) is. It's nice to see the details of all the cool races out there!

     

    So let's hear it folks - where is everyone racing in 2015?

    Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

      Here's what I have planned so far. There are a few other tentative plans that I'll list at the bottom. And one very large goal for the end of 2015 at the very end. The last goal will depend how the earlier part of the year goes, and whether or not I stay healthy.

        This first one will be my big goal race for the year. It's on my 42nd birthday. Life the universe and everything...and all that.

        From the Internet.

          Planned thus far - will run 1-2 shorter races before the spring half and probably another half in the fall before the full craziness, but haven't picked one yet.

            I have six races planned for the first half of 2015:

             

            The Winter Racing Circuit:

            This is a local winter running circuit intended for people training for the Ogden marathon in May.  My first time!

             

            • 5k - February 7th.  
              • Local very hard hilly 5k..  My PR for the 5K is stuck at 26:40; I underperform at this distance, because I'm really pretty terrible at running fast, but this is not a PR course, or so I've heard.
            • 10k - February 21st.  
            • 10 Miler - March 7th
              • Also alleged to be the hardest race in this circuit.
            • Half Marathon - March 28th
              • Probably the first half of the Ogden Marathon course -- fast course.  
              • Goal: sub-2.  My PR is 2:00:07.  
            • 30k - April 25th
              • This seems like a long way to run.
              • Goal: survive at a comfortable pace.

            Date: May 16

            Race: Ogden Half Marathon

            Event URL: http://getoutandlive.org/ogden-half-marathon

            Distance: 13.1

            Location: Ogden, UT

            Goal Time: Not quite sure yet.  Ran my previous PR on a "finish-it" plan with only ~20-25 miles per week of running.  Hoping to try a more aggressive plan starting in January but no idea on what's a reasonable goal yet.  1:55 is probably doable.  1:50, probably a reach.

              My goal races in 2015.

               

              Date: April 12th

              Race: Cap 10k

              Event URL: http://www.cap10k.com/

              Distance: 10k

              Location: Austin, TX, USA

              Goal Time: 49:59

               

              Date: Dec 6th

              Race: Decker Challenge Half Marathon

              Event URL: https://austinrunners.org/events/decker-challenge/

              Distance: 13.1 miles

              Location: Austin, TX, USA

              Goal Time: 1:44:59

               

              Changed my mind about running a marathon in 2015, maybe in 2016.

                These will probably be scratched.

                But I need to add this half that I just registered for.

                          This will be my first half marathon. I sure hope for some nice weather for it. I haven't dealt with much snow this winter, but bitter cold and wind chills have depressed my motivation.
