Not complaining, but...

This was my race schedule for the year (with some non-race bike events):

2/3 - Kaiser Permanente half-marathon. Ran it with a cast on my left arm. In the rain and howling wind. Had a pretty good race... especially considering that I took eight days off of running in January when I broke my wrist.

4/13 - Ironman Arizona. Finished 29 minutes off my goal in challenging conditions. Slightly disappointing, but overall a success.

5/4 - Grizzly Peak Century. Climbed strongly and had a great time.

5/10 - Angels Camp Triathlon. Won my age group! woo!

5/30 - See Jane Run half-marathon. Did not run due to knee issues.

6/14 - Mermaid Triathlon. Did not race because my grandma passed away and I spent the week leading up to the race with family.

6/19 - Splash-n-Dash #1. Swim/run. Raced with the tail end of a cold, finished 13th out of 27 women.

6/28 - Giro di Peninsula century ride. Did not ride because my grandma's memorial was the next day in Southern California. Lost my $65 registration fee, but at least it went to a great cause.

7/13 - Donner Lake Triathlon. Canceled due to smoke. Will get free entry to next year's race.

7/17 - Splash-n-Dash #2. Still planning to race.

8/2 - Barb's Race. Half-ironman. Will not race because knee problems have kept me from doing the long runs I need.

9/7 - Big Kahuna Triathlon. Half-ironman. We'll see if I can get enough long runs in by then.

9/21 - Sentinel Triathlon. Olympic distance. Still planning to race.

So basically I probably should have stopped and called it a year when I peaked at Angel's Camp.
