Yup, I did one of these last year, and the year before, and they have helped my motivation... so here is 2008's "accountability thread".
The women here at TE continue to be a source of motivation and power to me... racers or not is irrelevant. You get on your bikes, set goals and achieve. Thank you.
Here are my goals in a "nutshell"... (I am putting them here in the Race Results forum because my goals are primarily race focused and that is what I will mostly be talking about).
Carless weeks - 8 (each week is 7 consecutive days sans motorised transport).
Weight - currently 99kg, I want to be 90kg or less by December
Hills
- Climb Tiropai (300metres @ average 7.5%) in 2.45mins
- Climb Dartmoor (500metres @ average 7%) in 4:30mins
- Glengarry return (approx 65km with gradients of up to 14%)
Power
- Ramblers/Gisborne Interclub TT - average 32kph
- Dartmoor TT - average 32.5kph
- Dump Block TT - average 33kph
- Club Champs TT - average 33.5kph
Club Racing
- Competitive (regularly) in "F" by the Winter Series
- Interclub Champs ~ Ramblers/Gisborne - compete in all events
- Club Championships - compete in both events
Events
- Tour de Beautiful (50km) - 2 hours
- Tremain Team Tri (cycling only) 32kph
- Tour of the Bay (50km) 1.40 hours
Total kms for year: 5300km
Now, I am well underway with my Dump Block TT goal - 2 more of these to go this summer...

But everything else seems like hard work.
Thank you anyone who bothers to read and think anything encouraging even if you don't post. I appeciate your thoughts and your inspiration.
