Triathlon Resolutions 2008

Tri Goals

These are the goals I've set for myself.

1. Reach 50th percentile on the swim at IMAZ in April (I was bottom 30th last year).
2. Sub 11 hour at IMC in August.
3. Bike average 20mph or higher on one Ironman and at Lake Stevens 70.3 - without killing my run.
4. Solid no-excuses performances at all of my events.
   

Tri Resolutions

And this is the plan for how to achieve my goals.

1. Create a realistic Annual Training Plan with my coach and commit to meeting those hours each week (no excuses!). In 2007, there were several periods where I was off-plan for weeks at a time.  Sometimes I had good reasons (work) other times not so much.
2. Consistently swim - 3 times per week early season, 4 time per week during peak training. I skimped on swimming too much after IMAZ. That's one reason I put IMC on my schedule
3. Learn to effectively train and race with my powermeter. I'm know my race performances aren't nearly what I am capable of delivering, and this tool will help me reach that potential.
4. Run more outdoors instead running on my treadmill. I didn't get into this sport to spend hours a week running in my garage watching DVDs, much as I enjoy combining two things I love together.
   

Happy New Year!
