Right now I am just working towards increasing my weekly training schedule from 15 hours/week to 20 hours/week. I would like to be able to train consistently and remain injury free. I don't have any specific speed goals or PRs that I would like to set, as I am concerned more with putting in enough training hours to complete specific levels of events. These include: The Olympic distance triathlon, the Half Ironman distance triathlon, the 10K road race and the half marathon road race. I have been doing triathlons since July 2007. When I started in 2007 I had no experience in any of the sports, although I had done some distance running for exercise and had about 11 years of experience. In those 11 years I had to take a significant break from running because I was injured while training for a half marathon. After about a 5 year break, I started running again in 2007. So far I have experienced a lot of luck remaining injury free.
This season has been the first season where I have trained all year round; usually I am involved in Masters alpine ski racing in the winter and triathlon training has been difficult to fit in. However this year, with decreased mileage and intensity, I managed to stick with a reasonable weekly plan. I am looking forward to this season with great enthusiasm!
