"WHO'S IN 2021?"... ATHLETE EVENT CALENDAR, Rev 1!
Attached is the first pass of your 2021 athlete event calendar... It
includes all of your events "longer than a 5K" (with some notable
exceptions) that have been reported to date on the "Which finish lines are
you crossing in 2021?" post under "Announcements". And we'll update it
throughout the year and occasionally post it under "Files" and
"Announcments" for easy access.
Some comments about it...
• Stats... To date we have 124 event entries from a total of 36 athletes...
We expect this number to increase enormously over the course of the year
and likely end at 500+ total finish lines crossed.
• What am I doing?... To find what we have listed for you, scroll across
until you find your column (all names are listed alphabetically by last
name left to right) and then click the down arrow and uncheck "Blanks"...
This will filter the list for just your events (and you can even print your
custom event calendar and proudly mount it to your refrigerator).
• My events are not included... If your name has a "0" under it and is
highlighted in gray, it means we do not yet have your input... When you are
ready to report your events, you can post them as a comment here or on the
"finish lines" crossing post mentioned above. And note that this is not a
fixed list of events... If you have an event that is not listed, we'll add
it for you.
• What are all of those codes?... There is a key to the event codes at the
top of columns I to R.
• I changed my mind... As you modify your schedule throughout the year with
new events, canceled events, and event type changes (e.g. you switch from a
sprint tri to an Olympic tri), let us know and we'll update the calendar.
• Where can I race?... If you are seeking an event, they are listed on the
first tab ("Race Schedule - List") in list format in chronological order
and on the second tab ("Event Schedule - Block Months") in a block format
that may be easier to visualize. Also, all events on the list format
include a hyperlink directly to the event's website.
• Highlighted events... We've also highlighted Gators "Signature Events",
"Club Events", and "Sponsor Events"... These are the most strongly
recommended events where you will be sure to find other Gators and have a
fantastic time!
• Event dates... At this point, a number of dates are guesstimates and
tentative... All of these have the date highlighted in red... If you are
participating in any of them, please be sure to confirm the event dates as
they approach.
• For our youth members... The list includes a "Youth Friendly" column
indicating which are the best events for our Jr. Gators and Gator Tots.
• A little bit extra... We've occasionally included a comment in the "Who's
Racing?" column with some extra info... One of the most important features
is indication of any events where a sponsor discount is included... We
expect the list of events to be covered by sponsor discounts to grow over
the next few weeks.
• New for 2021!... FIRSTS!... Any time you are completing an event
type/distance for the first time ever, we want to know about it and will
highlight this with the "FIRST" burnt orange color key... And of course
that means that you will be showered with Good Gator Vibes when you compete
and then inundated with requests for post-race analysis afterwards! 🙂
If you have any questions (or see any errors), please post a comment.
Otherwise... Which finish lines are you crossing in 2021?
