Update: Just received an email about getting an official international entry into the Busselton 70.3 Ironman in May 2011!!!
Now that I have an official goal to look forward to, the training will begin commencing!
My conclusion for this new training cycle will be that it will be much easier to produce a fast time over a 5 month training cycle as opposed to the 5 week cycle I used in my 1st attempt at the 70.3 distance.
Initial Goals to focus on:
- Ride more
- Find the perfect aggressive position that will allow me to run off of the bike
- Ride more
- Train for a half marathon race (as opposed to simply relying on some running base as I did before)
- Ride more
- Swim long course and build my endurance
Hopefully by focusing on these goals I will be able to drop my 70.3 time substantially unless something unfortunate happens along the way.
Since some local Western Australian Triathletes set the bar high, I have some goals to shoot for next year. Nuttman I am coming for your time Mate!
After a couple more weeks of settling "Down Under" I plan to jump into some sort of a race, most likely a 3k on the track, my 1st since 2004 at Davidson College. I have not been working on my speed but I have high hopes that I can tuck behind a couple guys and grit my teeth to break my old & weak PR of 9:17.
Special shout out to Cody and Janna Angell for being amazingly hospitable since my arrival down under. So far everyone I have met in Perth has been amazing, more updates to come!
