2013 Cycling Goals

[Catrin]

Still thinking about my 2013 goals - but they will include the following:

Ride more than in 2012 (and avoid injury) - at least 4,000 miles
At least one charity ride, possibly 2 (at least the Hope ride)
Shoot for at least one group ride a month - I tend to ride solo most of the time
Death March (gravel event) in March IF I can get enough gravel time in between now and then...
Gravel Grovel (gravel race) on Thanksgiving weekend
get better at hill climbing
Learn how to do unassisted pull-ups
Continue to learn basics of Olympic lifting
Continue with my group training 2-3 times a week

I can be overly goal-driven, which is why my list isn't as detailed as in past years. As odd as this might sound, I've found that I seem to enjoy "training for an event" better than participating in the actual event. That is probably weird but that is me. I've also found that I enjoy lifting heavy things and doing wild metabolic conditioning things far better than I would have ever dreamed. Would love to do a little trail running, but I don't know if that will ever be an option for me, we shall see.
