2009 Race Planning

It's getting time to think about 2009's race calendar.  I'm aiming to do 2-3 olympics and probably 3 sprints this season (no more long stuff: I enjoy the training for these distances far more).  And the Great West Run, just because.  Bala or Perranporth will probably be my end-of-season oly, and that's in mid-September.  The GWR precludes doing New Forest this year, so I'm looking for a couple of high-season olys.  Is there a date for Burnham yet?

If you want a nice sprint on rolling Devon roads, 10th May is the Exe Valley Tri (pool swim) - I'll be marshalling again and promise to wave :)

Creatures the World Needs

Trepanasaurus.  From a random BB comment thread: "after the dinosaur-anteater hybrid rips off the top of a person's head with its sharp teeth, it can suck out its victim's brain with its nose."  C'mon, it's no sillier than the Mongolian Death Worm.  :)
