Start Planning. And Get Doing!

OK I'm back and in a better mood.

And I'm an hour away from facing the Monster again, I expect to do OK, but we'll see. Hate that guy.

Anyway, I've reviewed some recent times and started setting goals. This will be an ongoing post until completed, but here's what I have so far.

SWIM:
1. Get the 500y TT under 9 minutes. That's 18 seconds, or about 2 seconds per lap. Heck, flip turns alone might make that a lot easier.
2. Nail the 2.? mile swim coming up in early June. Goal time?
3. Nail the 2.4 miles swim, if I do it, in later June.

BIKE:
1. GET OUTSIDE!
2. Start practicing race pace, which I'm hoping will be around 20 mph (at least for the half). You may have to go this alone.
3. Identify key 100 mile rides and get on board for them.

RUN:
1. Nail a 10K PR, I have an option for Memorial Day and for Fourth of July. Do both?
2. Get back into long runs, don't let the marathon fitness go.
3. Do more brick runs, and make them hard brick runs. At least one a week.

RACING:
1. Start practicing bike fluids nutrition, there's ZERO of that so far this year.
2. Get the half iron distance UNDER 5:30 at Cutting Edge (mid-late June) with a 40 mins swim, 2:45 bike, and 1:50-ish run.
3. Start studying the MiTi and B2B courses, find local simulations.

LIFE IN GENERAL:
1. Plan the morning and afternoons better so as to not lose so much time
2. Keep in touch with friends and family, you need them
3. Wrangle in the Monster and step on it's stupid head once and for all.
