2010 Goals

[jobob]

I'm playing it by ear. At the very least, fewer days in the hospital than this year.

[GLC1968]

I have three cycling/fitness goals for next year:

1) do my first TRI (sprint) in May & if I like it - a second one over the summer some time.
2) ride the Crater Lake Century in August
3) ride/move more in general - which will happen by default just trying to do the first two goals!

I want to say whoa, it's way too early. I am still winding down this season.
That said, I want to be in great shape for my tour of Andalucia (10 days, 8 of which are cycling and 2 walking), in May, which means starting core training and longer rides on the trainer in about 2 weeks. It also means when I get out on the road in March, I have to ramp up the miles a little more. I hardly did any long rides this year, maybe 3 50-60 milers and 4 40 milers. I also want to do a century again, even if it's the same easy one I did 3 years ago. No goal in mind with the time, but it would be nice if I could do it in 6.5 hours like last time, but I am not holding myself to it.
Not sure about the running. I've started up again, but it's almost as hard as when I started last January. I probably will drop it in March.
I want to enjoy the winter sports season, too. We have an x country ski/snow shoe trip planned in February in Craftsbury, VT. where there is always snow.
But, my biggest goal is for my body to hold up, my back to not hurt, and my bones to strengthen from, hopefully, the medication that will work.

Crankin - this is the best time of year to look back, reflect and get ready for the next season. It may not mean to start training, but to get yourself relaxed and putting your feet up is part of off-season training too!

Get back into shape from these injuries. Become a stronger racer then I was last year and actually have a sprint. Really pick and choose my races, not just do every race possible and prepare and peak for stage races.
This year is quality over quantity

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)

[ridenread]

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.

[nscrbug]

My personal goals for 2010 are -

• Do at least 3 100-mile rides
• Improve my climbing
• Possibly do another triathlon (did 2 in '08, but none in '09)
• Participate in a multi-day bike tour

[SLash]

Hard to think about 2010, I'm still working on my 2009 total mileage goal and the way it is looking I might be riding on New Year's Eve!

For 2010 I want to do at least 1 century and ride at least 2000 miles. DH and I also want to do a supported tour of some kind.
