2012 goals - share 'em here!

Make the podium at an Ironman

Mostly to keep sucking air on my own and stay upright as much as possible.

Given that ... (and that's not been a given for the last 18 months)

* I'm gunning to be the first Ironman trained mostly on yoga and eating yogurt.
* I'd like to actually stay at race weight but be fit.

My race/event goals, which hopefully I'll be able to prepare for, are:

2012 Races planned: 
* Ironman Asia-Pacific Championships - Melbourne (March)
* Bali International Marathon (half or 10K, April)
* Kapas Marang International Swimathon 6.5K (April)
* Bali International Triathlon (June)
* Bali 10K Ocean Swim (July)
* At some point in late 2012 I may attempt a local Channel swim (route will be 60-70K). Year after is more likely.

For 2012 I hope to accomplish the following:

Sub 11 at IM Arizona

3:24 at the Ocean Drive Marathon in March (my first open marathon)

Sub 20 on a 5k (20:40 on a hilly course)

Break the top 10 in any race in my age group (29)

Become an Ironman, signed up for IMCDA.

Sub 9 min on my AF PT test, I went 9:11 this year, my fastest ever, and at age 43 no less.

Two main goals for the year are:

- Run a sub 3 hour marathon

- Qualify for 70.3 World Championships

Sub goal: don't do something stupid to get injured!!!

Races:
Houston Marathon - Sub 4:00
IM Texas - Sub 12:00

Annual Volume / Lifestyle
Run - 1500 miles
Bike - 5000 miles
Swim - Actually learn to swim
Weight - drop to 165

2011 is going to be hard to beat.  It was truly a great year including becoming an Ironman which was something I never thought possible.

For 2012, I want to PR HIM (Boise 70.3) and IM (Vineman).  I have some time goals I want to achieve for 5k, 10k, HM, and marathon.  All very doable if I stay healthy.

Other fun goals will be to help my wife through her first HIM and my daughter through her first IM.

1) Win a duathlon

2) Run a sub 17:45 5k

3) 1:27 half marathon

4) 3:20 Marathon

5) PR in all distances

Complete IMCDA

Period.

-Sub 3:00 marathon

-Sub 18:00 5K

-Swim more efficiently 

Sub 18 min 5K (18:52 PR)

Sub 1:30 half marathon (1:36:xx training PR)

Sub 5 hour HIM (5:32:xx PR)

Sub 13 IMAZ (first IM)

Maybe, just maybe do a marathon before 2012 year's end.

my 2012 goals:

1.) PR my Half Marathon time in May-Frederick Half Marathon

2.) Average 17.5mph on bike leg of my first sprint of season-June

3.) finish my first OLY Tri in under 3:15-Nations Triathlon

4.) PR my Half Marathon time again in October-Baltimore Half Marathon

5.) Not get injured

6.) lose 15lbs by June and 25lbs by Sept to be at my goal weight for both races

7.) Be happy and have another great season of training/racing

Run my first marathon!

I'd also like to improve my bike and OWS skills.

Mine is plain and simple.....

Do better than last year.  Go futher and do it faster.

My goals are simple:

1) Stay healthy and injury free.

2) Have FUN training and racing!

3) Complete my first marathon (Ottawa in late May)

4) Become an Ironman (Esprit Montreal in early September)

5) When in doubt, see #s 1 and 2.

Finish my first HM, hoping for sub 2:10 just to have a number to shoot for

Finish my first HIM

Complete the Police Unity Tour

Sub 1:18 Sprint tri- 1:21 PR

Sub 2:50 Oly- 3:10 PR

Complete first Marathon sub 4

First HIM in under 5:30

First OLY under 2:30 and qualify for Hyvee

INJURY FREE!!!!!!!

Actually get to and maintain my race weight....

1:30 half mary (but I'll settle for 1:35...PR is 1:36)

3:25 marathon (likewise, I'd settle for 3:30...PR is 3:32)

Right now, I'm leaning to doing Vineman as a 3rd and (probably) final IM...would like to go sub-12, maybe sub-11:30 if I stay healthy this time...and get my butt in gear on the bike for a change...

Also mulling over doing my first ultramarathon in December.

Become an Ironman on May 19th in TEXAS with grace, dignity, humility and style. The rest of the year is all gravy 

Get my first Tattoo...
