Q&A: Random & Racing 2012

by hillarybiscay

Now that I am (at least temporarily) done talking about my wedding, let’s get back to reader Q&A!

The famous Dan Beaver writes,

Q: Two-part question:
1- Will either you or Maik be hyphenating after the big day???
2- Very interested in hearing your race plans for 2012; are we looking at the old Hillary of say maybe 8 IM’s or maybe more??? Your fans need to know so we can sign up so as to get to see you in person!!!

A:

1: No name-changing or hyphenating for now, Dan. There may be some sort of name-combining happening when kids get involved down the line, but no changes for now.

2: I am very excited to report that I finally have some “definites” on my race calendar for 2012. Yes, Dan, there will be a good number of ironmans happening this year—at least six, I would say . . . If all goes well, 8 might not be out of the question. For now, I can say that these are the races around which I will plan the rest of my season:

May 6: Ironman Australia

May 27: Ironman Brasil

June 2: Honu 70.3

September 9: IRONMAN WISCONSIN!!!

Wisconsin!! So exciting as I am hoping to be there again this year. 2010 I missed the bike cut off by 20 mins after having a chain issue and then getting down mentally. It was my first attempt at an ironman. Can’t wait to see you go flying by!!I will be cheering for you! I love the bike course, so beautiful.

Wisconsin! I’ve been waiting for you to come back! You were so gracious to take a picture with me when I volunteered in 2009! You inspired me to complete it in 2010 and 2011 and I will be there in 2012!!

OMG! I am SOOO excited that you are competing at IM Australia. Can’t wait to see you there & hope to actually meet you in person. Although no doubt I will be watching you whilst I am still on the bike leg, and you are almost done on the run! Congrats to you and Maik – have loved the wedding pics and stories :)

Dang it. So jealous I’m not going back to Madtown this year.
Maybe you can come and finally conquer IMAZ in 2012!
