No, not race related. Though I will plan it to hopefully take in some of the more interesting races as I pass through places :) There's a lot of things that need to finally fall into place yet (mostly there though) and I'll be asking for tips, of course (!), when the time comes. I just wanted to post here to offer some encouragement to the OP really... If you're aware of all the potential pitfalls related to your finance and employment and are still feeling the call - just get out there and do it!
