Our 2012 Event Guide is your road map for the upcoming season.  From walks to ultramarathons to iron-distance triathlons and open water swims, we have packed more than 800 events into the current 2012 Endurance Magazine event guide.  We thank all of those race directors who were able to submit their events to SPORToften.com to be listed in this guide.  Not all events for 2012 are listed, as many race dates were still to be determined when we went to press with the print issue.  Remember to watch for newly added events as well as possible date or location changes in upcoming issues of Endurance Magazine and at our event registration site SPORToften.com - the premiere regional event community resource.

Looking back it is easy to say: I should have known better. During the weeks leading up to the ITU Duathlon World Championships I was feeling some worsening pain in my shin. Thinking like an endurance athlete rather than a health professional, I figured it could not amount to anything more serious than some pain during and after the race with lots of time to recover at the end of the year. How much could one more race hurt me? It ended up hurting me a lot in many ways. About two miles into the run my tibia bone audibly snapped through, and less than an hour later I was in a Spanish emergency room instead of running through the finish chute with fellow Team USA members, cheering each other on. Now, almost three months later, I am sitting on the couch with a titanium rod in my tibia, just starting to put in a few minutes in the pool and on the stationary bike.

In “Frazz,” Jef Mallett chronicles in cartoons the balance his main character strives to strike between his work as a school custodian, his relationship with third-grade teacher Miss Plainwell, and the training and racing schedule of a mid-pack triathlete. In the book “Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete,” Mallett takes a shot at explaining why multisport types do what they do, drawing on (pun intended) his own experience as a gainfully employed, happily married, former-bike-racer-turned-triathlete.
