The next two weeks are leading into the last race of the season for me - the Auckland Half - I was hoping to take this reasonably seriously - for a possible win - but have just heard that Bryan Rhodes will be racing. I have now changed my plan and just want to execute a good race with no dramas and let the result take care of itself. It'll be good practice.
Post this I will be taking a break mainly from any kind of major racing over the winter. I will look to maintain but without going too hard or long. With Isobel not being able to race or train hard this strategy should help to keep things good.
The goals have therefore been adjusted (per week averages)...
- Swimming - a couple of swim specific blocks to attempt to get some more gains,
- Cycling - 2 rides one midweek either Tuesday or Thursday bunch or trainer and Sunday bunch,
- Running - 2 -3 runs, at least one of 1hr 15m to 1hr 30m other two 45m to an hour ,
- Other - Core work start palates or weights etc...
- K2 - attempt to defend KOM (non elite),
- Tauranga Half - Age group champ, age group fastest bike and 4hr 15m,
- IMNZ - to finish in good shape and run properly - that's the way I like it :) The perfect race for me would be something like this: mid 50m swim, low 5hr bike and a very low 3hr run...
- Taupo bike - possibly elite,
- Taupo Half - treat as a training exercise for Tauranga,
- Maybe National club champs depending where they are.
- A couple of Franks races or Tri NZ My Sports before Xmas,
- Some of Steven Cox's rides, e.g winter series races,
- Gold Coast Half - but only if it pans out - might be nice holiday too.
