2010 Goals

This is fun!

Okay, well, I am going to try to get a really good team together for tour de cure and be the top fundraising team (we were fifth last year.)

I would like to (but not sure if I can swing the vacation time) do the Ididaride in New York, which looks fun, and hilly.

We'll do the Seacoast Century again, and since I was really happy with how we did this year, will probably just want a repeat of that.

I'm running a marathon in October.

It would be really cool if T and I could bike while we are visiting Bozeman, Montana in July.

And finally, I really want to get over the fear of falling factor on the mountain bike. So I guess that means more time on the bike!

Although not racing this time of year, I'm not ready to give it up yet.
2010:
1) Start racing some hillclimbs, which obviously means becoming more lean.2) I'll always do the occasional bike tour3) Start doing some self contained touring, with a xc trip planned hopefully in the near future.4) And although I'm not fast, perhaps some longer mtn bike races.5) I quess all of the above means that I should pay more attention to my diet HA!6) And above all else, enjoy the bike(s):D

My mom lives in Ennis, about an hour from Bozeman...try the trip from Ennis to Virginia City. One BIG hill.

By next year I will probably be ready to return to the triathlon world but only in a sprint distance/olympic distance capacity. i can't imagine running farther than 6 miles but it should be ok.

My goal is to finish a century next year. I need to learn how to fuel properly so I don't bonk at mile 72 like this year.

And your upcoming cycling goals, BikeShopGirl?

Last night, I decided to take a ride on the first bike I found in the garage that didn't need air in the tires. It happened to be my son's size L mountain bike, but it was all good. I need to give myself permission to just go out and ride with no fuss or muss (except the helmet), and then I can be like Tulip and just try to ride a little every day. The only bike I need shoes for is my road bike, so I have lots of other bikes I can ride on the spur of the moment.

Right now, I'd be happy to get over this @#$%^! cough.

Amen to that, sister! Me, too!

On another note, I want to learn to ride trails. :) Just looking for a bike.

How about attending a Ride of Silence in your community for 2010, to honor those who can no longer ride with us, while raising awareness of cyclists rights to the road, and promoting SHARE THE ROAD?

Cross the finish line happy and healthy at the Louisville Ironman :D

1. Loose 20 pounds (I set that one every year);
2. Do half-marathon in April
3. My second sprint tri in May
4. Ride 2,000 miles

Thanks for your suggestion markpedal. I will try to make it a point to do that too and good luck to you in Louisville kacie.....That's a pretty awesome goal.

Those 20 pounds are probably already loose;)
I think what you want to do is lose them.

Bikeshop Girl, believe me, rest is indeed on my mind now. I am not a racer, just an older recreational rider who has only been riding about 9 years. But, I've been into physically active stuff pretty much my whole adult life, so I have learned the hard way about how much activity my body can take.
My winter training is going to be more focused this year, because of my tour in May. I need to be at the same level of fitness I might not be at until June or even the beginning of July. I know this means I might need a break when I get back from the trip, or it could be a very long season...

Finish my first marathon. And do it early enough in the year that I don't sacrifice too much of my peak-season cycling.

First, I have to sign up..... I'm just terrified of pushing that button....
