The End Is Nigh

The end is nigh

The last races of the triathlon series have been run and won, fun month is also done. That just leaves one thing to do, the EOSPN.

End Of Season Presentation Night (although the P could could be for Party) is tonight, a formal do where the lycra is replaced with more formal affair and we celebrate the achievements of the past few months. I have been with the club now for four seasons but this will be my first EOSPN. It's a terrible record, and I got in trouble last year when the wife realised she missed a chance to dress up and socialise so I mean to make amends for that transgression. It will be an interesting and likely,eventful night! Perhaps more to report next time, or maybe "Vegas" rules will apply...

May not be an accurate representation of the EOSPN...

In other news, I found another way to throw away the wife's spending money AND stack the end of next race season. Win Win!
The Challenge brand has returned Down Under! Teaming up with SuperSprint Events they announced the introduction of three new 70.3 distance races, Melbourne, Forster and Batemans Bay. 

The Melbourne edition is about 6 weeks out from IronMan Melbourne and is on home grounds so I was excited to enter, and when the wife wasn't overly vocal against the idea, I jumped at the chance.

Stoked!!

My race calendar for the 2013-14 season looks like this:

November 17 - Shepparton 70.3

December 15 - Canberra 70.3

February 2 - Challenge Melbourne

March 2 - Warnnambool Sufferfest

March 23 - IronMan Melbourne

In the mean time, there are a couple of run and ride events I may look at doing, Kinglake ride with SuperSprint is a must as I haven't missed one yet, and the Melbourne Marathon as I continue to punch my loyalty card towards qualifying as a Spartan (10 x Melbourne Marathon finishes, I have three notches on that belt). Also on the agenda, I am finally going to get my dodgy calf treated, since I now seem to strain it each time I go for a run and I don't want to get too deep into the build carrying this issue.

There is only one final question to answer regarding events to add to my off-season season. I don't yet have the answer, but I will leave the question to be asked by one wiser than I.
