Your Race Bucket List

Are there races on your mind that you wish you could do one day? A race that has that burning desire but yet getting there and doing it is somewhat out of reach?

I do!

Before I "kick the bucket" some races that I want to do are as follows:
  • Paris Marathon (is this the one ran @ night?)
  • NYC Marathon (next year you are mine!!!)
  • Escape from Alcatraz
  • Kona (no lottery for me. Gotta qualify for this one!)
  • Ironman Canada
  • Ironman New Zealand
  • Ironman Western Australia
  • Ironman South Africa
  • Ironman Brasil
  • Ironman France
  • ...see the trend here folks? An Ironman on each continent
  • ...might have to create Ironman Antartica...wow would that be a cold swim! ;)
  • SOS...Survival of the Shawangunks....YOU HAVE TO READ THIS RACE DESCRIPTION....its a good one.
  •  Boston Marathon (but I gotta qualify!)

What races do want to do one day?

  7. I like it! My only comment would be that dude, did you know that Escape from Alcatraz is $400 to enter?? I qualified this year, but won't be racing...I'd rather spend my $400 on an Ironman. If you do it, let me know if it's worth the cash money! :) Good luck! You can do it!

  8. I have a friend who did the Paris Marathon. Pretty cool (ha also did the NY one too). I am volunteering at the mile 24 aid station this year. I would love to do one of those ultra trail runs somewhere beautiful.

  9. I have some friends who have done SOS--it sounds crazy/fun! Wow, you're going to be a busy guy in the next few years.

  10. Yeah that SOS became one of my bucket list races just now! So cool!

  11. Wow...that's quite a bucket list! I actually have no idea really what specific races I want to do. All I know is that an Ironman is sounding kind of tempting, as is an ultramarathon! But, who knows!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh yes! Escape from alcatraz, IM Canada, Boston Marathon...so many more you dont have enough space here for me to write! :)

  13. BOSTON, qualifier only! I don't have my eye on a specific Ironman, but one is definitely in my future.
    Your list is awesome!
