Well, I've spent a lot of time trying to nail down a schedule for this upcoming year. For me, it's a little easier than years past as I know what my key race will be, IMCDA in June. I will try and get in 2 triathlons prior to Coure D' Alene. I'm looking at a half Ironman in April down in California and hopefully an Olympic race 3-5 weeks out from CDA. Beyond that, I hope to get in some 5 and 10k races during the late winter, early spring and mix in some road racing (bike) potentially. After saying this though, my schedule will be determined with the help of my coach. I have committed to putting everything I have into the next 7 months and this includes utilizing the experience and guidance of my coach.
Speaking of my coach, it is wonderful to have someone else preparing my workouts for me! I didn't realize over the past few years how much time and energy I was spending trying to put together workouts and yearly schedules myself. Furthermore, it helps me stay focused on putting 100% into each workout because I don't want to waste anything, including the commitment I have made to my plan, my health, and my coach. 3 weeks with Muddy at the helm and I can already say that I feel like a different athlete. Sure, I'm in better shape than years past at this time, but something is different. My workouts are sharper, my mental state is more focused, and overall I just feel more confident leading into the new year. This is a great place to be in. Thanks for taking the time to read,
