The Rockport Triple Threat 1 mile race, followed by a 5K, and finished off with a Half marathon. The race is the first week in August. The nice part about Rockport is the possibility of having a place to stay. If that weren't to work out the hour drive wouldn't be a problem.
August gives me plenty of time to train. I say this as my calves still hurt from Tuesday's run. My guess that in my attempt to run lightly I over did it a bit. I'm going to do some more research on that before I try again.
I also want to look into how to train for a 3 in 1 race. I don't want to burn out in the first mile or 5K and have not enough left for 13 more miles. Probably the easiest approach is to treat it as one 16 mi. race. Since I'm considering doing a Marathon later in the year, I could be in good enough shape that I can run hard in the first two and be able to maintain a decent pace for the half.
I have a pair of Altra's coming as well as another pair of vibrams to try out. I'm thinking that I'll mix it up and run in both. We'll see.
