So my A race for the year will have to be Mooseman. I had hoped last year that I would qualify for Clearwater there, but it was nothing more than hope. I know I did not do the training required. It feels good to make this realization though.
So here it is.
Swim 28 minutes
Best swim so far at a 70.3 is 33 min. This is a 15% improvement and do able.
I had not fully commited myself to the swim in the past, but that has changed. Dare I say I am enjoying swimming....
Bike 2:25
Best bike so far 2:34. (4% improvement)
Again tough goal, but attainable. The powertap is really helping me stay foucsed so far. I think the last two years of training for an IM has given me the base I need to fly on the bike.
Run 1:30
Best so far 1:38 (10% improvement)
Extremely attainable. I would like to run a 1:22 straight half this year and I don't think that is a huge stretch. Best so far is a 1:25 on a very tough course. I actually think a 1:20 is possible.
Training for Lake Placid was so time consuming last year that I never worked on my skills. I would just run and bike long. I plan on riding all of my training rides at much higher speeds to help me get a faster base.
This is possible!
