I wanted to take a step back and look at the actual work that I had completed over the course if 2018 (38 weeks) I added up the numbers and came to some totals and then looked at my overall results. The workout totals include the race distances and times below. This is my first full season doing triathlon after doing my first triathlon race last year, August 2017. I had done 3 marathons over the course of about a year from 2016-2017.
Any advice on the numbers below would be helpful. I want to have a successful off-season and prepare well for IMSR with hopes of going sub 10 hours. If that is even possible for me as an almost 34 year old male that has never done a full distance race. I know that my volume is going to have to increase...but I am not sure by how much.
Edit: This thing hates excel tables.
I am very happy with how my season went. I have been generally healthy compared to what I hear from a lot of people and what they are dealing with. I did miss two races due to scheduling conflicts, what can you do? I think the amount of work I put in is reflected in my results just want to know how much more is going to be required to go sub 10 and what I can do this off-season to become more injury resistant.
