Training for the 2012 race has begun. I have some pretty hefty goals this year.
I have spent the last nine years racing at the same speed: slow and long.
I have participated in:
Three Half Iron(wo)mans
Three 50Ks
Three or four 25Ks
Several Half Marathons
In between I have done shorter races, mainly trail races of varying distances, several 10Ks, and few short-course dus…
Now, I want to focus on speed.
My 2012 Goals:
Sprint Tris
Swim goal: my most hefty goal is the sprint swim (0.5 miles) in 12-15 minutes
Bike goal: average 20 minute miles for 15- 20 miles
Run goal: 5K = 25 min. (8.5 minute mile)
My “A” race: Rev 3 Sprint Tri, Sept. 8, 2012. I chose this race as my “A” race for two reasons:
- This course is great for beginners or for those veterans that want to go fast.
as stated on the Rev 3 website.
- No doubt, this race will be exciting. Not only is it the first year Revolution 3 is offering a
sprint, but the Rev 3 venues are gaining in popularity. This event could sell out.
