Race Plan for 2013

A couple themes for my schedule this year: 70.3 and Dirt.

After getting through my first full Ironman race last year, I plan to get back to that distance, just not in 2013. This year, I'm going to do 3-4 half Ironman races, while mixing it up a little with some Xterra races.

Surf City Half Marathon (2/3) | Result: 1:38:30, 68th out of 930 in M40-44
Harding MTB Time Trial (2/23)*
Desert Tri (3/3)*
Ironman 70.3 Oceanside, CA (3/30) | Result: 5:10:19. 58th out of 393 in M40-44
Xterra Bonelli Park (4/6) | Result: 2:05:25, 6th out of 28 in M40-44
Xterra Las Vegas (4/13)*
Ironman 70.3 St. George, UT (5/4)
Orange County Triathlon (5/19)*
Ironman 70.3 Boise, ID (6/8)**
Firecracker 10k (7/4)
June Lake Triathlon (7/14)**
Xterra Snow Valley (7/27)
Ironman 70.3 WC??? (9/8)***
Leadman 125 (9/21)*
Lifetime Tri Oceanside (10/20)

*these are races I'd like to do, but based on family commitments, finances, injuries, etc., I like to have a few "maybe" races.
**a little more of a stretch, but I keep them on here so I don't forget about them.
***not sure if I'm there yet, but I'm going to take a couple shots at qualifying for Vegas this year.

I'd like to add Lake Stevens 70.3, Rev3 Quassy to the mix, but again, family, finances and health are always a big part of my planning.
