2012 Goals - Cycling and Fitness

[GLC1968]

Where to begin? The athletic performance ones:

• Better my times at the races I repeat this year.
• Go sub-2 hour on a half marathon (I have lots of opportunities)
• Execute an entire training plan all they way through to the event
• Reach my weight goal before June 1.
• Sub 1:45/100m for my swim.
• Complete both the Mt Shasta Summit Century and The Crater Lake Century

For other goals, I have

• get a better handle on the farm (this needs to be quantified, I know)
• create a family budget and revamp our financial plan
• learn to be more proactive and focused at my job
• socialize more

Bike goals:

• Complete the Excruciation Exam this Saturday, shooting for 7-7.5 hours. It is 80 miles mountain bike and road.
• Finish the marathon season at the end of this month, currently leading the series if I win I get a jersey.
• Improve my times at two races I did very good in this fall - XC at Huntsville, TX and Marathon at Palo Duro Canyon.
• Put times up during spring XC (mountain bike racing) that are competitive. My times last spring were way out of the group I race (first season in this division) I may not be in the placing but hopefully in some races I will be in the mix.
• Improve my technical riding abilities in mountain biking.
• Improve my cornering mountain biking.
• Work back to being stronger on the road, I am probably 2-3 mph slower than I used to average when I rode more.

Non-Bike Goals to Improve Body and Fitness:

• First goal - give up artificial sweeteners.
• Give up high fructose corn syrup products.
• Tone core, legs and arms.
• Remember sunscreen more, I am not getting any younger and need to protect my skin better!
