I think I lost my mind
So lets go over the race line up for the year.
January 15th: Run for Regis 50k
January 28th: Dirty Snowflakes 4m
February 12th: Dirty Love 10k
March 3rd: Green Jewel 50K
March 24th: Dirty Feet 8K
April 1st: Fools Run 50K
April 28th: Outrun 24 hour run
May 12th: 50's for you Momma 50 mile
July 22nd: Pirate Triathlon (Sprint)
July 28th: Burning River 100 mile
August 4-5: MS Point to Point 150 mile(bike)
I am sure that I am missing some random race that I signed up and forgot about. The main goal is the BR100. Every race before the BR100 is just another training run. Well maybe not the Pirate Tri, that one is to have as much fun as I can with my peeps.

Thank you 2011
I am welcoming 2012 with open arms, ready to embrace every new day. I see a lot of people sending off 2011 with the middle finger. Not me, I loved every damn day. Well almost everyday. I was humbled and learned humility. I learned to swim and swim far, I was reunited with the lost love of cycling. I rode my first century ride and backed it up with a 80 mile ride the next day. I competed in not only my first triathlon but three.
Most of all I have found a few new life long friends.
January: Ran 82.3 miles Cycled 29 miles Swam 0.0
In January I set out to finish my ultra training with the 2011 Run for Regis 50k. Being humbled I only made it 13.1 miles before dropping out.
February: Ran 82.3 miles Cycled 95.5 miles Swam 6.6 miles
After Regis I started training for the Cleveland Marathon. Using cycling as cross training and started to learn to swim.
March: Ran 90.4 miles Cycled 54.2 miles Swam 6.7 miles
Returning to the Mill Creek Distance Classic Half Marathon again I PRed the course by over 15 minutes from the last year!
Also returning to the first 5k of the year Strides of March 5k, I PRed the course and my 5k time 25:33. The best part of the race is I met my running BFF Kirsten from Days go By. Ok not only running BFF, but maybe a straight up BFF.
April: Ran 120.2 miles Cycled 24.2 miles Swam 7.5 miles
No races, just a very epic birthday run. I had this planned for awhile, the plan was 40 miles for 40 years. Mission complete.
May: Ran 77.7 miles Cycled 241.1 miles Swam 4.8 miles
West End YMCA Run 5k a raining VFF Bad ass PR 23:50
Then comes in my second marathon the 2011 Cleveland Marathon. The plan was sub 4 hours. Mile 16 all hell broke loose. Cramped up legs ruined my day. I was done. I was broken. I thank the lord above for my savor to carry me the last miles.
June: Ran 68.6 miles Cycled 180.9 miles Swam 12.2 miles
Warrior dash! What can I say but the best 5k ever!
Lake Health Distance Classic Half Marathon this was my second time running this race. I have only a few small words about this race. HOT AMD HUGE HILL.
My very first biathlon! The Lions 2011 biathlon. Learned a lot on how to pace your run and bike.
Crossfit Akron Triathlon Sprint distance! I loved it! I am hooked! Swim bike run till I die!
July: Ran 63.8 miles Cycled 359.5 miles Swam 13.6 miles
Lake Metroparks Pirate Triathlon Sprint distance. PR! Hands down top three races of the year. Just plain stupid!
August: Ran 69.4 miles Cycled 349.6 miles Swam 4.8 miles
Greater Cleveland Triathlon Olympic distance. One of the hardest races ever. The swim, I don't think I could ever explain. The bike was fun ass hell. The run was a death craw. Best thing I got out of this race was I learned to never stop moving forward. Push until you can't push anymore, then dig deeper and push more.
Bike MS Point to Point 175 mile ride.
Once again a first for me. A century ride the first day then a 80 mile ride home. I didn't know or expect this ride to be so meaningful in my life. I have so many memories from this ride I just don't have the time. Once again I learned to push myself beyond any thing I could ever expect. I hope this will be a yearly tradition.
September: Ran 105.6 miles Cycled 90.5 miles Swam 0.8
It's Better in Mentor 5 mile great race with my BFF
Believe and Achieve 10k trail race. This was my first real trail race. I killed it! Omg I'll never race on roads again.
Akron Half Marathon PR! 1:55:00 sub two hours! Some thinks that I was helping them get that sub 2, true confession I could of never done it with out there help. Lunch was crazy stupid.
October: Ran 140.1 miles Cycled 29.4 Swam well let's just say done for the year.
November: Ran 174 miles
Ran my second year at Autumn leaves 5 mile
PR the shit out of my 5 mile race at the CLE turkey trot!
December: 182.2 miles!
Ran my first 10 mile trail race at Salt Fork! It was, well to say the least it was a little muddy.
I ended 2011 with a running total of 1,271 miles in the books. Tons of new friends and a new love for trails. Will I miss 2011? Hell ya I will!
Bring on 2012! The year of ultras!
