I titled this an event plan because it is not necessarily a race plan.  A few of the events I plan to participate in do not like to be called races.  OK, fine, semantics aside it is my plan for 2015.  An international move will also be involved within this plan, and though that is not necessarily a sanctioned endurance event where I might receive a medal, or finishers certificate, doing such requires endurance of a different type.  I also know that an international move shoots a hole in my schedule for consistent training due to packing, travel, time zone fatigue, bike transit time, etc.  The last three or so years I have usually planned an endurance heavy early spring, and then specialized throughout the summer and early fall.  This year is similar.
