2012 Race Schedule

Well, in the interest of procrastinating, I have decided to take a look at which races I would like to do in the 2012 season.  Since I will be moving to Albany, NY in a month's time, I have no idea what or how many races are in the area.  After quick search of TriFind.com for triathlons, running races, duathlons, and cycling races in NY, NH, VT, ME, CT, RI, and MA, I have decided that there are many more than I could imagine.  I'm going to focus on the half-iron distance and 13.1 and 26.2 next year so as to maintain the huge running base that I have been building this winter.  So, without further adieu, here are the available races (obviously, I will have to pick a final group of these to register for, but as of now  **Asterisks** indicate that I have already registered for this event.
