With less than a week left in May, spring is flying by! I’ve been trying to plan out weekends for the next two months, coveting a way to spend each weekend day, usually in the great outdoors. And often based around training or racing schedules.
Tonight ended up being a perfect BBQ night after a nearly 2hr brick with hill repeats, and thus hopefully the start of many more warm spring hill & BBQ nights. So with no more complex reason than that, I’m giving away a Timex Marathon GPS unit.
The best thing though is you’ve got nothing more to do than leave a single comment below (multiple comments don’t count around these parts!). Simply answer the question below:
What are your training and/or racing plans for this weekend ahead (Apr 27-29th)?
For those curious, I’ll be doing a 10-mile trail run at Fountainhead on Saturday, and a 40ish mile bike ride on Skyline on Sunday. Definitely looking forward to both!
The entry period will run until Friday Apr 27th, 2012 at 11:59PM Eastern Time, at which point I’ll close the entry period and randomly select a winner. Like the all my giveaways there are no restrictions on where the goods go to – so no matter where in the world you are, I’ll send to you. The winner will get a brand new Timex Marathon GPS unit.
As I do from time to time (though, it’s been a while), this particular giveaway is sponsored by one of the site sponsors (BeMultisport.com), which is an online sports device retailer based just down the road from me. They paid for the unit, though I’ll pay for the shipping (which, come to think of it, if you’re in Uzbekistan may actually end costing more than the unit itself…). As always, supporting site sponsors helps support the site. Circle of life thing.
(Note: If you’re active duty US military and deployed, simply shoot me an e-mail and I’ll get ya entered in. For those curious on how the giveaways work, here’s the deets. Through careful planning I picked up a handful of them when they first came available…just so I could give them away to you. Thanks all!)
Friday: Zone 1 easy 10k run
Saturday: 35km LSD run
Sunday: Rest Day + Pizza Eating.
W00t ! First comment. Means I probably won’t win thou’
Since when has 1 ever been a random number …
I am planning a 30km trail run. Here in Japan, cherry blossoms season is already over, but we can enjoy the view of beautiful Mt. Fuji!
Bugger, beaten by a short head …
thanks, as always, for offering the giveaway! this weekend i’m spinning on sunday. if i’m lucky, i’ll have enough energy saturday afternoon to make it out for a nice jog, too
.
I’m doing Columbia brick nick with the DC Tri club
planning on 60 miles bike followed by a 5 mile brick
Whiskey 50 off-road. Only problem is, I am coming back from a broken clavicle (it hasn’t really healed yet). So, even though it is a race, I am going to take some video. It should be fun either way.
Gonna try to get a 6 mile run on Saturday morning followed by a light Brazilian Jiu Jitsu work out in the afternoon, and then a 30-40 mile ride on Sunday morning.
Planning on a 11-12 mile run this weekend. And studying for finals, which is a kind of training, right?
50k trail race as a (hopefully) training run, followed by another 13mi the next day
My goal is 6 miles!
Road race on saturday and 90 minute run on sunday weather permitting. It could do anything!
Long cycling on the week-end.
@Gabroe: A bike followed by a brick would be a BBrick (see Cevelo for pronunciation). A brick is a bike followed by a run. Don’t mind me, I’m just bitter because my knee is messed up so I’m not doing bikes or runs this weekend, just swimming with a pull buoy
I will be doing a 12 mile run and hopefully riding my new Trek 2.3 Bike for a nice sunday ride. Marathon next weekend. Gotta take down my brother.
A really, really hard rest and recovery as I taper for IMSG.
I’ll run a 50K trail race on Saturday in Sweden. It’s called Runner’s World Lidingö Ultramarathon. I’ve done it once before. The course around the Lidingö island in the center of Stockholm is awesome!
Friday – Couch to 5K Week 1 Day 3
Saturday – Yoga and maybe a strength circuit
Sunday – rest
Cant wait for my first Train half-marathon
Something long and hilly down by the ocean. Hopefully a trail run too, but that remains to be seen.
Heading to the coast for a nice relaxing weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday, where hopefully I’ll get a nice longish run in. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
I am unfortunately still rehabbing my knee, so I’ll be doing some indoor strength workouts, then a few easy miles to keep the knee warmed up.
Just a short 20km training run and a swim along with a bike ride
Bike and run so much I wont worry about swimming.
Most of my weekend will actually be spent at my children’s soccer games (I currently have all 4 of my boys playing- daughter does dance, and I coach one of the teams). I am going to try to work in a 3-4 mile run on Saturday, probably in the evening. Sunday is always a rest day for me
thank you for the chance
this weekend

Hi ray
Just a short 23km training bike and some time run and swim:-)
doron from tel aviv
Just returning from back injury so going to start training for my first Duathlon of the year
Saturday – Run/Bike/Run
Sunday – Probably lay in bed in agony !
Fri Swimset Masters, Sat 75k bike, Sun 14k fartleg
long ride and 1/2 marathon.
Weekends are always busy times for me. It is the time for racing, long runs, long rides and trying to make up for everything I didn’t have time to do during the week (which mostly doesn’t happen).
This weekend looks particularly tricky:
Friday: Try and get my legs going after almost a week of rest due to incipient shin pains. Probably a 5k easy run. Swimming training with my local tri club in the evening.
Saturday: Race day! I’m looking at either a 5k race and try to see how the shape is coming along, OR a 26k trail race OR a sprint duathlon. Leaning towards the 5k, even though the 26k is probably better with respect to my upcoming half marathon. Duathlon will probably be fun but the timing is a bit off to suit me well.
Sunday: Long ride. By long I usually mean anything in the range of 3-5 hours. Looking very much forward to this, provided the weather stays in spring mode for some more days (Stockholm, Sweden, has been in semi winter mode last couple of weeks).
Thanks for a great blog, keep up the good work!
Saturday: 2k swim & 50 min run
Sunday: 3h Bike ride thru Essex, UK
I’m planning a 3 hour bike ride that includes a 8 mile TT. Sunday will hopefully be a long run if my hip is up to it followed by a long swim.

Sunday I am going out to run around the historical sights of Ancient Rome.
Nothing really… It is my birthday so I will only have a light run on Sunday.
I took some days off – will ride off-road as much as the weather allows.
I have to train for climbing with the mtb, I have done only flat rides so far this year.
a swim on saturday and a brick on sunday!
On sunday there is a MTB race which opens the season for the most popular MTB racing series in Latvia (SEB MTB maratons), so I will take a part in it.
The racing season has already started with a few races in start of April.
On saturday we will have to go to work, to get a free monday (government swapped the days because of national holidays).

Friday – Some gymnastics with the yongest (5year). I’ve neve done any gymnatics before the past year but the trainer lives just down the road. The purpose of father+child gymnastics is that the child should have fun while the father uses him/her as an exercise tool. I.e running arround with him on the shoulders, trowing him into the air etc. I’m amased what and old fart like me can actually do on an airtrack or trampoline without getting hurt when you have a soft mattress to land in. I also plan to take an hour on the MTB up/down a local track outside my door (~20-24km)
Saturday. Outdoor gymnastics show.
Sunday. 1-1.5 hour (~30km) on the MTB and 45min indoor swim (~2.5km)

Seeing some of the workout plans make me feel a complete wimp… I probably won´t be able to do anything on Friday, but should walk somewhere around 13 km (overall average of about 7 kph), around 30 min of circuit weight training and 30 min of stationary bike (about 220 watts, I think) on Saturday, and maybe a long walk on Sunday of around 20 km… As I said those workout plans make me feel a wimp

Hello!
Since this weekend is a 4 day weekend here in Sweden, my plans are to talk my husband into heading over to one of Sweden’s beautiful lakes here in the middle of the country. This lake has a biking/walking path around it, and at the halfway point, there is a castle that has become a B&B. It takes about 6 hours to bike to the castle and another 7 or so to bike the rest of the way around the lake on the following day. I’m really looking forward to it!
The name I usually go by online is LadyofQuills. I hope my sign in via my gmail account gives you my email address. I didn’t want to post it directly in the comment.
You can figure it out though, with the info I just gave you! Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for the giveaway, Ray!

Kemah Olympic Triathlon in Kemah Texas. with a 1.5 hour run afterward to prep for IMTX.
One week from now I’ll be one of the 3:30 pacers in the Limerick marathon here in Ireland, so my training this weekend will be a medium run on Saturday (12 miles) and a reasonably long run on Sunday (17 miles) at about 8-minute pace, using it as a test for the marathon.
For a pace a GPS watch is absolutely vital. It would come in very, very handy.

New to the site, first comment! (Love the posts by the way)
This weekend I will probably run on a local nature trail with my wife and 3 kids (2 in a stroller, 1 on training wheels). Most of the time will be spent trying to motivate my 4 year old to keep going with us…. turning about 5k (the trail length) into about 10k (including the running in place).
a new watch would be nice
Hoping to run all three days–distance depends upon time left after chasing kids.

Openwater swim and brick of undetermined time or distance since I don’t have any races lined up currently due to other obligations and hard to predict schedule. Doesn’t matter as long as I get something in.
Looking forward to getting out of the gym and back outside after a long medical sidelining!
Well, I haven’t quite figured out the specifics, but I’d like to get in a solid bike ride (20-30mi) and a bit longer of a run than I have been doing, at least 5.
No racing or training plans, coaching athletes in competition all weekend its really a positive negative
Beginning to taper for important track races. This weekend I’ll be logging some easy miles with one day being a solid tempo run.
Saturday should be the first ride this season around my favorite loop. Its an 100km loop on mostly fire roads that have just finished drying up from the snow. Its the reason I still ride a steal frame

Running 2x5k on 15 min rest on Sat, followed by a trail run along Dickey Ridge Trail Sunday morning.

I am hoping for a sunny weekend of riding and running after a week of minor surgery recovery
Hmm – need to get back in the groove – maybe fit in a long run this weekend
None unfortunately because I’m currently ill
Though as one guy did say, ‘I’ll be back and I’ll need something with GPS in it since my onboard unit took a bullet to it.’ Or something like that.
