I'll be there! Watching! ;) Right down the road, so I wouldnt miss it.
I havent picked an "A" race yet, but my big race will likely be Miami Man 1/2. Season starts at St. Anthony's as part of a relay.
I'll be doing a bunch of sprints, hopefully at least 4 Olys, and maybe 2 1/2s. We'll see how this season goes, hopefully I can dodge the injury bullet this year (i think i got neough in last year to allow me to skip a few years on credit)
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

Hehe. I'm not sure I'll be able to run at your pace but it will be very nice to do a long run with someone. Right now 70% of me wants to do the marathon again, guess we'll have to wait and see ;).

Hi all.
Malaysia does not have a very active triathlon calendar as compared to Europe or Northern America. But I do have a couple of races planned. There is a duathlon series run every year. A series of 3 races in March, May and July, so I'm planning to do those. The Powerman is in September and is also on my calendar as my A race. There's also the local Miri Olympic Distance Triathlon which I plan to complete. Cheers for sharing...

Duathlon in April
Duathlon + sprint tri in May
½ IM - june 4 or june 25

IM distance august 26 in Almere, holland
Would you prefer to do an ½IM three weeks, or an Olympic two weeks before an IM?

I wanted to do Powerman AL but scheduling got in my way. Definitely next year, along with IMFL.

I am by no means an expert, but I would go with the Olympic for the sole reason of recovery. I was training again 2 days after my 1st olympic distance race. I haven't done a Half before, but I would guess that recovery would take quite a bit more than that.

So looking forward to the races...the training is going to be a different story.

I have not done it but it should be beautiful. I may do it myself. Its hot that time of year over there though, but that probably won't be a big deal for you.

UBC Triathlon (Olympic) - March 11
Vancouver Marathon - May 7
1/2 IM in June/July (either Victoria/Elk Lake or Desert/Osoyoos).
Hopefully Kelowna Apple tri and/or Vancouver Tri in September

Im sure ill do many other races that these, but these are the ones i have planned now and completing the 50 mile run is my main focus for the first half of the year. Then the iron-distance triathlon is my focus after that. Im sure i will do at least one half IM, i just havent decided which one yet.
Feb 11th: Kansas City Psycho Wyco 50k trail run
April 9th: St. Louis Marathon
May 11th: Ice Age 50 mile run
Sept. 24th: Oklahoma Redman iron-distance triathlon.
"Tough times dont last. Tough people do."
Just wondering which races everyone was looking forward to this year, especially on the coast
my main focus is a Half Iron in June, Morgantown WV & the Chicago Marathon in October
Im looking for some other good races, and I just like to see what other people are focusing on
