Great news this week – The cardiologist cleared me to resume training and referred me to an electro-physiologist for treatment of atrial fibrillation. I slept hard this week with my mind now free of worry.
So looks like it’s “game on” for 2008. Don’t feel much like writing complete sentences tonight. Here’s a sketch plan of my 2008 athletic goals:
Goal Race: Chesapeakeman Ultra Triathlon http://www.tricolumbia.org/ChesapeakeMan/
September 27, 2008
Race Goals: Show up to race with 4W/kg functional threshold power.
Cycle closer to my “ceiling” than last year.
Follow ride with a sub 4-hour marathon.
Training Calendar Overview:
January: Re-establish consistent foundation
Feb & Mar: boost VO2 max & threshold strength. Focus on cycling and running.
Apr thru Jun: Base training
Early July: Transition & Recovery – Family vacation time!
Jul & Aug: Big block of training.
September: Taper toward race.
Other events: Got the Nerve? Sprint triathlon on May 24.
Nightmare Ride around Lancaster County on August 16.
Keys to season:
· Cardiac response to training.
· Staying consistent through base training, which will be very difficult in a busy spring. Higher priorities in April through June include coaching baseball (Colin this time), a couple of camping excursions with the boys, and helping to organize the Tri For Kids’ Sake on April 22.
· Quality cycling sessions.
· Quality race simulations.
