Getting into the last 4-5 weeks or so of triathlon season. I've raced 12 triathlons and would like to add 3-5 more.
I'm signed up for the Marlton Sprint this weekend but am 50/50 on it. My legs this morning, some 11 days after Shasta, feel almost normal--I know I've lost a lot of fitness not being able to train since shasta--in the last two weeks I've run 6 miles and swam 3000 yards.....
Looking ahead I hope to race the next two weekends--races TBD and then I'll head down to North Carolina for the Duathlon World championships.
I'll probably get one more tri after that and 2009 will be a wrap.
2010 will be my return to Ironman racing with IMFL in November as the "A" race.
I envision four meso-cycles between Labor day 2009 and race day:
Labor Day-New Year's 2009: Focus on diet to body weight/composition to IM level (165 pounds) and run focus to get 5K run time to 20 minutes
Jan-Mar 2010: Swim focus--try to develop 60 minute IM swim speed: 20,000+ yds/week
Apr-Jun 2010: Bike focus--develop sub 5 hour IM bike capability: 400+ miles/week
July-Oct 2010: IM specific build
Looking forward to the focus, clarity and discipline again...
