Only one resolution: Be the best dad I can be.
But I did add a couple other racing goals, so here is the full lineup for 2015:
May 24, 2015 - Full Gunnison Growler
Time goal is to have a solid race and gain confidence in having strong early season form. I'll be pleased if I can finish in the top 50% of my age class in a tough field.
July 4, 2015 - Firecracker 50
Last year I PR'd with 4:48 and got 3rd in Sport Class, so this year I intend to move up to Expert Class. This should avoid the huge traffic I always have to encounter on lap 1 and probably gain a couple minutes based on that alone. I'd like to get my time down to around 4:30.
July 18, 2015 - Breck 100
I raced this in 2012 and finished in 11:52, so I definitely want to get below 11 hours. The lower the better.
August 1-2 - Montezuma "Mountain's Revenge":
I've heard about this one for a long time and was bummed to have lived in another era. But Adam Shaw revived this monster last year now I'll get my chance to see how many miles I can put down. Rough guess is about 100, but I'd like to get as far past that number as I can. I'd love to somehow get deep into Loop 5, the Lenawee / Warden Gulch Loop but that would mean something like 126 miles to finish. Jesse Jakomait did 155 miles last year so I have grave doubts about staying within 30 miles of him, but who knows. I think he had to do a Webster Pass / Red Cone loop and I know first-hand how brutal it is pushing up and over Red Cone.
September 12-13, 2015 - Vapor Trail 125
If I reach most of my goals I should be plenty battle-hardened for a ride on the Vapor Trail. No sense in setting any time goals for that, but I'll have a much better idea of how I stack up as the date gets closer.
