Training Plan

My last tri was the end of August. I had 1 or 2 more scheduled but instead did 2 OW races and called it quits the end of September. I took off October and am now beginning my off season training which focuses heavily on cycling (trainer).

I am also in a Winter Maintenance phase right now (if you can call it that; still pretty motivated to train).  Last race was Scoggin Valley Sprint Tri on Sept. 5th.  Took three weeks off; was suppose to be one week, but got sick and ended upp being three.  I am following a 20 week maintenance plan off BT.  I am doing a lot more swimming than it calls for by using a 2500 yd. Int. Swim Workout 2- 3 times per week.  For the biking I am in a Spinning Class twice a week for 60 min. with an instructor who competes in Triathlons.  Also will be adding a Saturday Spinning Class for 90 minutes starting the first Sat. in November and it goes for four months.  Trying to incorporate some Core Training Exercises that I got from the site three times a week.  Running right now is just about maintaining.  Pretty full schedule, but I do enjoy the training and need to focus on losing some weight, maintaining my fitness and becoming stronger on the bike to assist my run.

Plans are three Sprints next year and a potentially an "A" race being an olympic distance later in the year.  I was also considering Pacific Crest Olympic distance as a worthy race to guage where I am at.  All this with the expectation to compete at Olympic Distances 2 years out year and work towards a 70.3 either at Lake Stevens or Boise.

I most likely will use a Olympic distance plan in the Spring of 2010 or late winter to prep for my "A" race.  Any suggestions on a Olympic Distance race later in the year?

Wish more Oregonians were posting.

I've got no real plan at the moment.  Hoping to do an Oly and a HIM next year, but haven't really figured much out beyond that.  I should really get on it though.
