2018 Race Schedule

As we reach the end of 2017 I have started planning and registering for races for 2018.  So far on my schedule I am planning on the following:

Running
4/28 - Derby Festival Marathon, Louisville, KY: https://derbyfestivalmarathon.com/# 
I haven't run a marathon in Kentucky and figured this would be a good one

? - Airlife Run, Littleton, CO: Date has not been set yet 
A local race that I try to run, last year I was a race marshal as it was too close to another race.

5/28 - Bolder Boulder, Boulder, CO: http://www.bolderboulder.com/
 This is the 40th running of this race and I took the last couple years off due to other races.

7/28 - Idaho Falls Marathon, Idaho Falls, ID: http://www.idahofallsmarathon.com/ 
I have not run a marathon in Idaho and this looked like a fun one for my brother and I to do.  He is after all 50 states and still needed Idaho.  Plus it's not often you get to run one on your birthday.

10/7 - Chicago Marathon, Chicago, IL: https://www.chicagomarathon.com/
I entered the lottery and got in.  I ran it back in 2011 and did not have a good time as the heat and humidity did not cooperate. 

11/17 - Queenstown International Marathon, Queenstown, NZ: https://queenstown-marathon.co.nz/
This will be continent #6 in my pursuit of all 7.  Everyone I know who has run this race liked it and it worked out timing wise much better than running one in Australia.

 Triathlon
I have not signed up for one yet but I am looking at a couple of different Olympic distance triathlons.
