Subject: RE: Season's Done Now what? My last tri for the year was yesterday. For some reason there aren't many races here in Aug. I think the lakes get too green by the end of summer <gross>. I have 2 duathlons in Sept and then a half marathon in Oct. The thought that I don't really *have* to swim anymore didn't make me really sad. Yes, I'll keep swimming, but lately swim training has been kind of frustrating. It will be nice to take a break from it. My off-season goal is to put together a strength training program and stick to it. I normally scale back training in Nov and Dec to kind of "maintence" mode and start fresh in Jan with base building again. Up here, running races start in April (when the ice melts ), duathlons in May and tris in June. |
