Wow that is a lot of races.

Sheesh. You guys are monsters. I guess I need to look at what's out there. I only have the Mooseman and the Tango on my list. Like Craig, I would like to add a duathlon or early Tri before the Mooseman, but I don't have many others in mind. I don't even know what I would do. Maybe an Xterra type race would be more my speed. Blood, obstacles, strategic thinking...that's more my speed. I might need a partner.
10 Races, talk about making sure you keep motivated and focused!
I'm definitely interested in the Morgantown International distance. I have a feeling that is going to a be a distance I seek out as I'm hoping that will match my current level of fitness.
Tango: Full tango still sounds very painful to me. I'm guessing there would be a long recovery time from that race.
Something I've thought of which others might think is absurd is to run the tango as a Triathlon. My goal would to complete the 1st 3 events. If I came out of the swim feeling like I could run up that hill and into the woods, great. Otherwise, I'd be happy just getting my splits from the first 3 events.
Of course we could also go in search of people to try and field a more competitive relay team.
Craig I hate to tell you but you will have to do the Orienteering in a relay. You were just too good with a map.
Did you guys ever send in your form for Tango Feedback? I never did. If not perhaps we should get a dialog going here and try to put together a wish list and get it to him.
Ten seems like a lot, but I reviewed this years and I did 7 races. Of course 4 of them were 5K runs. I wanted to try to do the 4 5k races in Greene County to try to win the overall title in 2008. Only one guy did it last year, and I was close to him time wise, so as long as no one else enters, i.e. better than me than, I may have a chance at it.
Matt did three and didn't start racing until August.
I only counted one race for Casey and Shawn (TANGO).
I think I found a duathlon in Bedford PA in April, but I can't find any results, just a calendar showing a contact. That could be an easy hookup for Shawn and I. Closer to him than me, but not bad. It was on April 28 in 2007.

My thoughts on Solo Tango: I doubt I will be ready to take on the entire event myself. So what will I do if everyone else decides to go solo.
Well I think I'd try to run the first three events as a reverse Triathlon. If after 3 events I think I could keep going I'd just consider everything after the swim to be a bonus.
I know some of you would not agree with not finishing but I think I would be fine with it.
