Thank you, sir, for you service..

For my 50-yr. midlife crisis:

Finish Savageman ... with a Brick.

1) Try and find a way to balance training and my new role as a dad (February)

2) Break 5:30 at Rev3 Cedar Point

3) PR at Philly HM

- First Ironman at IMOO

- Stay Healthy

And you will Ironbushy!!

PR at HIM, PR at IM.   hey, I'm aiming high.

Love Ironman Wisconsin - such a great race!!! See you there.  

X2 on IMWI, however, I might be a bit biased since I grew up just off the course. Great IM to have as your first! See you there as well and don't forget to drop in on the IMWI forum as well.

1)  Stay injury free.

2)  PR in Spring HM with a Sub 1:36.

3)  PR in Spring Marathon (Colorado) with a Sub 3:20.

4)  Place in local Sprint and Olympic Tris.

5)  Complete first Long Course Tri (Harvest Moon) in September.

6) Stay injury free.

Cant wait! See you on the course and on the IMWI forum

PR in the same sprint tri I did this year for my first tri ever

complete an OLY tri

stay motivated throughout the year to meet both of these goals

35 pounds

three sprints

1 international distance finishing in the top 50%

I reserve the right to add a bid for marathon PR in the fall depending on how my tri season goes.

1) Stay injury free for an entire season

2) finish my first IM (IMAZ)

loose 30 more lbs

HM in February

and here's the biggy--HIM in October

1)  Loose 20 lbs (was 15lb up until the past two months :*(  )

2) Commute at least 50 days (okay, considering I only did 2 this year, that REALLY is a big goal.  I'll be happy is I can at least get 30 - that'll pay off the $80 bike I bought this year to commute on   )

3) Bike 1,000 miles (that's double this year - but then I didn't spend a whole lot of time biking either)

4)  Run 500 miles (should be doable considering goal #5)

5) Run my FIRST marathon!!

6) Swim 75,000 yds (that's more than double this year - gotta get to master's!!)

I have other time goals, but I'm hopeful that if I can meet these goals, then the rest will fall into place

Ok, love goal threads.   Here are mine, in no specific order of importance:

1.  Finally get to my goal weight--this will take some major tweaking to my diet, specifically cutting sugar out.  I just have ten pounds to lose, but these ten pounds have not budged and I know it's due to my sugar habit.

2.  Run the Salt Lake City Marathon in April and redeem my awful experience from 2008...I went into it undertrained and overweight and it was AWFUL.  I'm ready to go back and do it justice.

3.  Run a first ever indoor half marathon....47 laps around an olympic ice oval.  Why not? (just to clarify...this will be the first indoor half I've run,  I've run dozens of half marys outdoors!)

4.  Do an Olympic tri this summer, plus whatever other tris might come my way throughout June, July, August or September!

5.  Stay injury free. The only thing that could give me problems is my left butt cheek piriformis...it flares up now and again.

My 4 big races are:

June - 24 hour road bike race (1st for me)

July - local 1/2 Ironman

Sept - 50 mile trail run (1st for me)

Nov - Ironman Cozumal

1. Swim more

2. Purchase my first Tri bike

3. shredded abs

4. Continue to train smart/injury free

1. Sprint tri in November

2. Run continuously for at least 30 mins

3. Build my bike speed to 8mph

4. Be more consistent with ST - do more balanced/whole body stuff

5. Be more consistent with yoga - hopefully building up to something more advanced than my current dvd

6. Be able to do pull ups

Um, I think that's about it. I'm possibly doing a 10k the month before my tri but I'm not totally sure yet - it may end up being another 5k.

First year of running, biking, and swimming!

So whatever I do, I will PR! But no, I do have some goals:

half marathon under 1h40

olympic triathlon under 2h30

maybe a 5k under 20min.

• Sub 20:00 5k

My personal/life/job goals interfere with any other athletic goals next year, so I'll post some cause they do tie in

• Move/transfer to Wisconsin
• Get used to training in humidity again
• Get training back on track
• Find duathlons in SE WI.  I might be able to do the same du I've done for 4 years here depending on when I move.
• Buy a cross bike to commute in weather.  Commuting 12 months of the year on a fender-free road bike probably won't cut it in WI.  Maybe even do a cross race next year.  Probably not though...
