Goals for this season
Expect many new entries on my blog in the next week leading up to the Shamrock Run next saturday. With tapering comes a lot of extra time and energy so this blog is probably going to be my outlet (lest I annoy and lose every friend I have otherwise).
In no particular order, here are all of my athletic goals (large and small) for the 2012 racing season:
Running:
- Under 30 minutes (sub 29) and come in top .5% in Shamrock Run 8k
- Under 17:30 in a road 5k
- Under 5 in a mile
- Under 57:00 at the Boilermaker 15k
- Under 3:03 at Niagara Falls Int Marathon
Biking:
- Sub 29 minute 20k ITT
- Sub 60 minute 40k ITT
- 4 w/kg AND over 300 watt Functional Threshold Power
- CAT up to cat 4 and be one of the best bike handlers in the peleton
Duathlon:
- Win or be competitive in every race I run. I feel like I’m getting close to the point that I should be able to stay with anyone in the area in a run/bike/run competition.
- Improve so that (next year?) I’ll soon be competitive on a regional/national duathlon level. I have the numbers of sub 16 5k run and 27:45 for 20k ITT bike floating around in my head as the rough ability I’d need to train up to before this might be realized. Maybe a few years away, maybe never, but who knows!?
more to come…
