Schedule changes

As I alluded to earlier, if you're going to be a planner, you better be good at changing plans.

Due to schedule conflicts that came up this week, I've had to scratch out a couple races I was planning to do this year and replace them (fortunately registration hadn't opened yet for either, so I'm not out anything). The Wimberley 4 was an excuse to get the wife and baby down to the Hill Country for some quick R&R, and the El Scorcho 50K was supposed to be a good tune-up for my 50-mile debut this fall. Alas, neither of those will happen for me this year.

I would prefer to replace these events with ones that are an equal distance and relatively close on the calendar, but with the other races I've already locked in, I couldn't make this happen. I replaced the 50K with another 50K, but the only spot I could manage was New Year's Eve... which fouls up next year's plan by taking me out of the 2012 New Year's Day Half Marathon.

With the dust settling for now, here's the new lineup for this year and next (*-registered, bold-new):
