I don't even have it bad in that it isn't that cold and there isn't snow, but man the winter training is really seeming to drag on this year and it is only mid-January! Maybe it is that my hours and mileage is a lot higher this year, but man my first 2018 race just seems so far away.

Anybody else feeling this way?

The winter for me is JFT time.

This year I picked a late Feb marathon to target. But even without that I would just get out there and train whatever I feel like just put in the time and get more regimented as the season gets closer.

I know the feeling, I always try to get a 2 weeks training camp in around February, somewhere the sun is shining and the weather is good, just to break up the long winter time. Just got an email from my A-race, its "only" 6 months to go... for me it feels like "still" =) Long time away.

Ben, what camp do you do? I am looking for a budget friendly camp in Arizona or southern California. I don't really need a camp, just maybe an AirBnB rental with a few other triathletes and we hang out and train together.

Use the 6-month-rule as motivation! Yes the weather outside might be frightful, but know that it's the training that you put in about 6 months out from the key races of the year that is most important!
