2011 Season Kickoff

This weekend marks the 2011 kickoff and the St. Anthony’s Triathlon in St. Petersburg Florida.  Heading down tonight and will be a fun race with 4,000 of my closest friends Sunday.  This years running races produced another 10K Best of 45:42 in the Chattahoochee Challenge in February and a Half-Marathon of 1:47:00 in the Publix Georgia Marathon. 

In attempting to qualify for USAT Age Group Nationals later this summer I have picked two regional qualifiers over the next two weeks in St. Anthony’s and the Peachtree City International Triathlon.  To qualify, I need to finish in the top 1/3 of my age group in these two very competitive fields.  Based on past years and field histories, it looks like a 2:35 should get me there.  That’s going to take a solid (21mph avg) bike split with a sub 50 minute 10K off the bike.  I will update and see how the race goes!
