Many goals, but the biggest is Vineman as my first half IM. It's a good flat, easy race at a distance I know I can work up to.
I have a coach who is amazing. I am part of Triforce and my Coach Coady sets out a realistic plan to help me improve. We're moving from 3-5 hrs a week to 5-7 to 10ish as we work up through next year. (if anyone is interested, please reach out to me - he coaches a variety of levels, from noobs like me to top 100 age groupers at Kona).
Consistency is our biggest issue right now, as I work a very odd kind of job - as a consultant, I have madcap on-demand hours that make it hard to plan a regular schedule (my favorite thing ever). So I am trying to figure out a schedule by fitting in workouts between late-night meetings so I can still enjoy my dinner/drink and not feel deprived.
My husband pointed me here as part of his devious plan to get me hooked on triathlon... you were all an inspiration to me before I considered even ATTEMPTING a triathlon - just ladies I deeply respected. I was a lurker for a few months. He downloaded a few tri and running autobiographies onto my Kindle, made me watch Kona vids, and had my eye as I saw him lose 50 lbs in his training.
Now, break between conference calls with India, so time to hop on the bike!
