This year I trained for my HIM basically without a plan except to be able to do each distance before the race. I managed to do pretty well, but I suffered on the bike and the run. I'd like to another HIM next year. So I'm planning on working up to longer bike rides, in the range of 70-80 miles, so I don't bonk at 45. I'd also like to do at least 12 mile runs a few times rather than just once. I may also try *again* to find a swim coach in this area.

What are you going to do differently in your training for next season? Or for those of you downunder who are just starting your season what did you do differently for this year?
