Well...since I did the two tri's this season (sprint and one with sprint distance except for 1/4 mile swim), I am lost now that the last one is done.

I was very aimless today so it's time to plan for next season. What is the next step, Oly? The way I see it is I train for the next step and throw in a few sprint tri's for fun and to practice. I'm more of a distance person anyway.

For those that read my swim thread, this winter is all about swimming. I am going to a Total Immersion clinic in October and I plan to practice OW until it's too cold. Oddly enough, I prefer OW to pool swimming so I guess I'm blessed that way. Either that or the coach I got was awesome because he really made me see the beauty in it.

So, what would be the next progression for late spring/early summer? I don't like being stagnate, ie repeating the same distances over and over unless it is THE distance I prefer. I know my limits - in cycling I progressed to centuries and that was pretty much THE distance. No desire for a double.

I have most of the toys, now I just need to plan for the next one. What's a good distance?

And thank you all. Thanks to this thread I wanted to do a tri and thanks to this thread I did two in two weeks. (And I didn't drown!)
