I love races – the atmosphere is fantastic, you get bling and t-shirts, it’s awesome! I get massive FOMO looking at all the events other people are participating in… so usually end up signing up too. That’s one of the (many) reasons why the 26.2 marathon challenge was born.
In 2017, I participated in a crazy 26 races throughout the year, including completing 10 marathons. In 2018 I’m scaling back a little and taking a break from triathlons, but still have plenty planned. Below is my race calendar for the year, including links to race reports of past events.
