#69: January is for cross?
Well, it seems that in Tennessee cross season lasts all winter. There are four weekend of good racing that I need to pick and choose from. These January races are tough because they correspond to the weeks where I need to be logging some miles… I might see if I can do both.
- January 5th / 6th: Columbia races #1 & #2
- January 13th: TN state championship (Nashville)
- January 19th/20th: Columbia races #3 & #4
- January 26th: Chattanooga Greenway Farms #2
I haven’t been running really, after I got somewhat injured trail running back in November. I laid off that since I did not want to mess up cyclocross racing through December. I did want to do a trail race this winter at some point, here are some my options in January:
- January 5th: Athens / Big Fork (Arkansas) 17 mile / 26 mile. [Andrea tells me that this race may wreck me for a week...even the fun run!]
- January 20th: Swamp Stomper (Millington, Tenn) 25k/50k. [this race is closed according to their website, so I guess it is not meant to be]
So it looks like it will be all about cross and training for the road season. Besides, I haven’t laced up my trail shoes since … early November?
