Planning: Race Picking

Well last year wasn’t all that hard, considering there was only one race on the schedule. Now I’m hooked, and want to throw a few more into the fray. The process will work sorta like this:

1. Get a list of races, entry fees, dates, etc.
2. Review available vacation time, if any races involve travel.
3. Talk it over with the wife, see what days/races will work best.
4. Post final race list.
5. Develop training plan for races.
6. Post Training plan.

So far we have a quick list of races:
