PLANNING 2011 REVIEWED

Amigos,

Ya he podido meditar un poco más mi Planning  provisional para el 2011, participando y representando en todas las pruebas al BARCELONA DRAGONS TRIATHLON CLUB (FORÇA DRAGONS!) , así pues, a continuación adjunto como quedaría:


1.Mitja Sitges,09/01/2011, intentaré mejorar mi marca de 1h43´44´´  http://mitjasitges.cat/index.htm

2. Marató Barcelona, 06/03/2011, mi primera maratón, espero poder hacerla por debajo de 4 horas...mmm, bueno, quizás objetivo demasiado ambicioso...pero por pedir que no quede! jaja http://www.barcelonamarato.es/

3. Cursa Nike-Bombers, 17/04/2011, mi cuarta participación en la misma, pero, hace 5 años que no la hago debido a mis expatriaciones! http://www.cursabombersadmin.com/ esta cursa espero me acompañen varios de mis familiares, empezando por Elaine, algunos hermanos, cuñados y sobrinos...así pues, será una competición en plan familiar!
4. Triatlón Banyoles B, 24/04/2011, mi primer triatlón distancia B...http://www.triatlo.org/competicions/
5. Half Challenge Barcelona-Mareseme, 29/05/2011, mi primera 70.3 y segundo desafío de larga distancia en triatlón. http://www.challenge-barcelona.es/index_evento.php?lang=EN
6. Marnatón Cap de Creus, 04/09/2011, travesía a nado de 6.5 Kms...me gusta disfrutar de este tipo de travesías, aunque, será la distancia más larga que he nadado nunca, ya que, la más larga ha sido de 5.2 Kms de Repulse Bay hasta Stanley Bay en Hong Kong. http://www.marnaton.com/2009/
7. Cavalls del Vent, 01&02/10/2011, travesía de montaña de 84.5Kms y desnivel acumulado de 12.2Kms...no estoy convencido que pueda hacerla, pero, dependerá de cómo llegue a la cita...http://www.naturetrails.es/2010/index.html
o
7. Challenge Barcelona-Maresme, 02/10/2011, todavía no lo tengo decidido y ya veremos cómo va la temporada...http://www.challenge-barcelona.es/index_evento.php?lang=EN

En principio, estos son los eventos que me gustaría participar pero dependerá de mi estado de forma y que las lesiones no me perjudiquen la planificación...cómo ha ocurrido durante el 2010!

Friends,


Finally, I have reviewed my provisional planning for 2011 and will participate and represent in all events our BARCELONA DRAGONS TRIATHLON CLUB (GO DRAGONS, GO!) and I describe how it will look like:

1.Half Marathon Sitges,09/01/2011, trying to beat my PB of 1h43´44´´ http://mitjasitges.cat/index.htm

2. Marathon of Barcelona, 06/03/2011, my first one,I hope to finish it under hours...mmm, may be, a liitle but too ambicious...but for asking will not be!hahah  http://www.barcelonamarato.es/
3. Race Nike-Bombers, 17/04/2011, my fourth participation in the same race, but, none since 5 years ago due to my expatriation years! http://www.cursabombersadmin.com/ during this race I hope to run with my relatives, beginning with Elaine, some brothers, brothers-in-law and nephews......then, it will become a family racing event!

4. Triathlon Banyoles distance B, 24/04/2011, my first triathlon B distance ..http://www.triatlo.org/competicions/

5. Half Ironman Challenge Barcelona-Mareseme, 29/05/2011, my first 70.3 and second challenge distance in triathlon  http://www.challenge-barcelona.es/index_evento.php?lang=EN

6. Marnatón Cap de Creus, 04/09/2011, swim race of 6.5 Kms...I like to enjoy with that type of events, but, it will be the longest distance I have ever swum, as my actual longest one, is 5.2 Kms from Repulse Bay to Stanley Bay in Hong Kong. http://www.marnaton.com/2009/

7. Cavalls del Vent, 01&02/10/2011, mountain trail running of 84.5Kms with accumulated heigth of 12.2 Kms...I am not convinced that I am able to finish it, but, will depend on how trained I will arrive to that day...http://www.naturetrails.es/2010/index.html
or
7. Ironman Challenge Barcelona-Maresme, 02/10/2011, I am not yet sure which one of those events and we will decide, as the triathlon season goes on...http://www.challenge-barcelona.es/index_evento.php?lang=EN

Basically, all those events are the ones I would like to participate but will depend on my physical status and how injuries will treat me during my planning...and hopefully will not bother me during 2011!!
