New Year... what are your plans?

#1: Stay healthy

A Race: Muskoka 70.3

B Races:  Peterborough HIM, Muskoka Long Course

C Races: Around the Bay 30k, Bracebridge HIM (maybe)

Hope all is well - see you at the races!

Just one - 'A' race - Triathlon World Championships, Jun 6 in Vancouver.  Qualified through Wasaga last year.

Problem - This is so early in the season.  The Worlds may be my first open water swim for the year.  Ouch, and the swim is my weakest link!

On a positive note, I finally put together my training schedule for next season.  One 11x17 spreadsheet that I keep on the night table that tells me what I'm supposed to do every day for 2008.  And I purchased a computrainer last month and I'm hammering away.

I also want to do a few sprints after the Worlds, but would be anti-climatic.  Thinking of Toronto and Cobourg, but Olympics is happening at that time, and I just may go to watch.

Hey Kevin, you look like a pro in the pics http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=99172&start=61

Good luck with your upcoming season, esp HIM at Bracebridge!  Hope you don't mind me checking your logs once in a while, and feel free to reciprocate.

I'd like to get a little more north for some better scenery, but so far the plan is to stick close to the SW (and I'll be having a Du-only season again this year) and doing mostly sprints:

Belle River tune-up early season

Leamington Tomatoman

Rondeau Provincial Park Bulldog

Sarnia Bluewater Oly distance

And a couple of other sprints I still haven't committed to. My 1/2 iron will have to wait until next year.

I'm beating myself up right now trying to decide whether or not to pack my bike and bring it to Florida for March break and take on the Wildman Oly duathlon in Orlando. We're flying down, and we travel light (carry-ons only) so as to avoid baggage check & claims, but the bike would deflate our efforts, and given the fact that I've really only had my ride together for 6 months, I'm a little paranoid about letting the airline apes have their way with it. Also, it would be on our last day in Florida, so the logistics of checking out of the motel would be left up to my better half, while I had the rental car for the race. Still debating...

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here. My scheduled is in my signature, but my Goal race is Muskoka 70.3 so all will be leading to that goal.

I haven't even completed an Oly distance yet, was supposed to have been completed at Wasaga last year, but swim got cancelled again, so maybe I'll find an early season Oly for a test. I had signed up for Muskoka before the Wasaga.

I have a few additional running races (my standard ones each year), that will be added to my race list over the next couple months.

I am training with the 20 week HIM training and so far going ok, Hope to finish most of it swice so will be in ok shape by September. I am really a BOP'r and having just turned 50 last week and still a little (20lbs) over weight have a lot of work to get in HIM shape.
