Ambitious schedule

Why set anything else?

Started out this afternoon on a pair of 3-day trips, of which I get back late on the 3rd then go out again in the early evening of the 4th. I'll get in a nice ride & short run in the (not too) windy city tomorrow, then a longer run up in cool showery Juneau on Saturday.

So I was thinking of jumping in the Crit on the 4th in Burien, not once, not twice, but for 3 separate races. Do the Masters races in the AM, they are back-to-back, then the 1/2 race in the early afternoon. Then off to Anchorage - where it won't really get too dark (sunset @ 11:35 sunrise @ 4:30) - for the real fireworks. With a nice ride/run combo on the 5th. Looking to do Hurricane Ridge on the 7th - anybody want to come along?

For the following Saturday I was thinking loading up on the lactic acid by racing a short Tri up in Skagit County on the 10th in the AM, and then do the Redmond Derby Days Crit in the PM - again with a couple of races there.

Of course to be really hardcore I'm planning to bike up to the Clear Lake area (w/gear) the day prior (via the Kingston - Edmonds ferry, 120 miles), then do a post race ride to Redmond to do the crit (65 miles). The only trouble with that might be my timing for the Masters race which starts at 3:30 (which might be tight), though I'd for sure make the 1/2 race in the early evening.

Would it be too much to ask for a ride home after that?
