FIVE WEEKS until the season starts!

Eek! The Triathlon Season is approaching!

Coach just gave me my training plan leading up to my first race in March... and the bricks are back, baby! Enduro base training is done, so now I've got bricks lined up every weekend, with interval training, swimming form drills, and speed drills during the week. Plus, I have to increase my core and upper body weight training. Then, one taper week prior to my season opener... and we're off and running!
Schedule looks like one race a month, six weeks off in late summer, then a fall that features 3 major tris (including the LA Tri) in a span of 7 weeks. Woo Hoo!!!

I'm exactly 2 months from my first: the Rage in the Sage, olympic length in Las Vegas.

Which ones are you guys doing?

I'm 8 weeks from my first duathlon, and since I decided to switch my "A" Olympic race from May to July, this duathlon just became an "A" race for me. Since it apparently has a big long hill in it that some of my friends granny-geared last year (or so I've heard) hill training has started in for the bike. Last weekend was 25mi with rolling hills, this weekend a 1mile climb in two directions, then the big 3mile climb up the mountain the following weekend. (then repeat cycle after a rest week) The season really is starting!!

Good luck to you all and keep us updated!!

You ladies are getting excited about the start! I'm in the middle of ENJOYING my first season. My FOURTH Tri is this Sunday, then my next one is on April Fools day and the LAST TRI this season is on the 22nd of April!


I'm about ready to start gearing up for the 2007-2008 season... Maybe I'll do both the BRIBIE and the Gatorade series then... ^_^

My season starts with an indoor sprint (pool swim, trainer bike and run outdoors) on Mar 11.

The rest of my schedule (tentative):

April 7 - Duathlon
May 6 - Marathon Vancouver BC
June 9 - Blue Lake sprint tri
June 10 - Blue Lake Oly
June 23 - Pacific Crest HIM

Then a mini rest, while I do a few more weeks of building and, drum roll please...

Ironman Canada - August 26, 25th year anniversary.

Then if I feel like it I might fool around with some September races, maybe an open water swim, or maybe I'll veg out.
