Training year, that is. There's a calendar year, an academic year, a fiscal year, and now there's a training year. One key difference is that the training year starts differently for everyone. Some start earlier, some later. For me, December to September is my training year.
Should I re-name the blog? It's no longer "One Year To IMWI 2010". Now it's....well what are my goals for 2011? Wow, where to begin this?
Races I'd like to do:
April:Double Chubb 50K trail run.
May: Triple-T Triathlon.
June: Gramma's Marathon.
September: Savageman 100 Triathlon.
And one superfast HIM race.
Here's a wrench in the plans. There's now an opportunity to qualify for World Long Course in Las Vegas at the August Pigman HIM in Iowa. I'd have to place in top 5 of my AG, I think the rolldown is 10 places. I don't have any real ideas that I'd qualify, I havent been training for weeks so it's hard to imagine going anywhere fast right now. But if'n I did qualify, that means an HIM in August, Sept, and Nov. I love me HIM's, but do I love them that much??
Gotta decide now! Sign-up is right around the corner for most of these races. What are some other goals?
1. Sub 4hr marathon (current PR 4:06)
2. Sub 1:45 half marathon (current 1:53)
3. Sub 5:15 HIM (current PR 5:27, average though is 5:40-ish)
4. Sub 40 min HIM swim (currently about 43 min ave)
5. Sub 22 min 5K
6. Sub 50 min 10K
7. more?
Training plan goals for next year:
1. Saturday MEC rides to get FAST on the bike
2. BRR Tuesday speedwork to get FAST on the run
3. Swim lessons with JM to just learn how to swim
4. Swim Master's classes to get FAST on the swim
5. Year around strength training to get like Dara ;)
Looks like I want to get fast this year!
