Goal is to run faster, gain Tim C's Body Comp, hold onto and slightly gain on the bike...
and of course share the pain & accomplishment with team members!
2018 Races - IMLP - American Zofingen Duathlon (as a training day) Mallorca Camp, Al Camp
Goal for 2018:
> Get hubs successfully to IMLP starting line.
>Improve body Comp. Always a plan.
>Run faster for longer
> Launch a successful HIM training plan that will culminate in me CRUSHING my new AG. Sorry. I'm a little blood thirsty.
> NOT GET HURT<
> Be able to ride my new TT bike without killing my shoulders.
2018- Best in the West HIM
Bend Camp!!!!!!!! Let the shenanigans begin.
2018 races include Nashville R&R half marathon, Quassy 70.3, IMLP, and MCM marathon
Bring it on. It's not not like you guys won't be right there with me!!!!
Having a problem getting the 2018 OS bike to load up on TR. My widget geek is currently working on the problem. HE's kinda expensive. I can only find 1 2018 OS L1 plan. Does anyone have more than that?
Thank you for your answer I was starting to panic!
Thank you so much for putting them in. That's a HUGE amount of work.
4th OS for me. Goals:
~ Starkles
My goals are to improve bike power and run durability (and speed) to lay the foundation for my best season yet.
I'm planning to return to Chatt 70.3 and would also like to do Augusta 70.3 with a lot of short course races in between. I have my eye on a few Olympic distance events, which would be a first also.
Jason, thanks for the work on the Zwift files! That will save me a Trainer Road subscription. I have them loaded up and ready to go!
Both myself and my hubby and new ENer Michael Kryvicky are in for the JOS!
#1 goal: Improve Body Comp.
#2 goal: run durability, consistency, and pace. NO more being afraid - I am going to be the squirrel.
My 2018 races:
May - IM70.3 GUlf Coast (Kryvicky Family event! me, hubby, SIL, her BF, and their friend are all racing!) Long training day
July - IM70.3 Ohio (relay with hubby biking, me swim/running) Long training day
August - MiTi 140.6 (relay with Hubby biking, me swim/running) - really long training day
November - IMFL (A RACE) Family race part 2 - Me, my SIL, her BF and their friend are all racing.
I'll be with this group but may have some modifications in March. I just found out that I'll have some more free time, well a lot of free time to train so will looking to hack the bike.
Goals will come after closer or after Christmas. Right now I'm in Dinhofer's weight loss challenge, swimming 3X week and running 3X with one bike session.
Right now my one and only race is Calgary 70.3 July 29th with a sub 6 goal.
For those of you that haven't looked at the plans: note that week 1 starts with normal workouts, not testing protocol as in years past. I'd highly suggest to plan on testing before starting. My SWAG for my ftp is likely waaaayyyyyyy high, so I'll build for the next 4 weeks before testing.
i'd been sticking to my 219 number for a while, but that's clearly going to take a hit. I'll probably end up at around the 200 mark as a starting point.
Currently doing run durability plan.
"The 2018 USA Triathlon Ultra-Distance National Championships in Oklahoma City, OK, will qualify athletes for the 2019 ITU Long-Distance Triathlon World Championship. At the Ultra-Distance National Championship, the first place athlete in each aged-up age group will automatically qualify. The second place athlete in each aged-up age group will qualify only if their finishing time is within 30% of the first place athlete's finishing time.
Remaining slots for the 2019 ITU Long-Distance Triathlon World Championship can be earned in the Long Course Triathlon National Championship at the 2018 USA Triathlon Multisport National Championships Festival in Miami, Florida."
So you have a much greater chance (16 slots instead of 2) of getting on the Team USA for Spain 2019 if you try to qualify in Miami, Nov 11. That;s what I'm doing. It's only 70.3, instead of the 140.6 "Ultra" distance.
