Race Season Planning

It's that time of year again. At the end of the year, Melissa and I sit down to plan our race schedule for the upcoming race season. Most of the races have price bumps at the end of the year and we like to take advantage of the lower prices. This year, by registering before the January 1 price increases, we saved a total of $70.

And now we are committed. Our calendars for 2013 have started to fill up. It is nice to be organized so that when other events come up, we know if we are free or not. To stay on top of things, we have a white board for general notes and for a workspace for planning. Then we have 3 months displayed with all of our events listed as well as any other significant things that might pop up. Finally, we have the whole year's calendar printed up that also includes holidays. This is what it all looks like although the middle set of calendars has not been filled in yet. However, the yearly calendar has all our events listed. I must give credit to Melissa for her excellent organizational skills.

 

And now (drum roll). Here is my race schedule so far for the 2013 race season.
