Subject: RE: Happy new year2013local xc series Alberta Masters championships (swimming ) Local Half Mary (probably Calgary Police Half ) Chinook draft legal sprint Edmonton ITU AG sprint Great White North (70.3 distance ) At least one local oly tri and ow swim. Ironman CanadaMaybe Xterra Sport (sprint ). I might be cooked from Whistler...2014 is looking very different with a focus on swimming and sprint tri since Masters Worlds for swimming are in Canada for the first time in 20 years and Edmonton will probably be hosting the ITU world championships.Each event has its challenges and training loads. The funny thing is I used to train more volume for a swimming race that lasted 2 minutes than I will for Ironman. Good thing I have 28 years of endurance training under my belt ( started swimming in 1985 and tri in 1988 and have always done something with my longest break being 1 month ) |
