More than twelve years in, it feels like I’m “starting over”. I know that sounds very odd to say after 300+ races in close to twenty states (and one country), on top of training throughout the country.
But this is what I mean: For 2027, I already have at least six international races on the calendar, along with at least two National races. On top of that, I have at least thirty “local” (meaning not National/International/World) races. I still don’t know what else will get added, as I have not heard anything back from USAOCR. And there are several other things in the pipeline.
All of that said, the “normal” training that I’ve done to this point will not suffice for 2027’s season. I know I need to go back to the drawing board to succeed during this very long and very fun season. Some of it will be easy — such as continuing and ramping up the “off-season” pieces — but others will take time. But I’m confident that it will all come together.
I’ve got great coaches in my corner, along with guides and so many others to support me; I’ve got many training tools and nutrition items; I believe I can put it all together.
If you’d like to help support my 2027 season, please watch for the formal fundraising, which will launch in early 2027. You can also help by subscribing to my Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/nocrappyexcuses).
