Looking Ahead

Looking back over the past few years of my training and amateurish racing I don’t do well with strict schedules and routines, nor do I fare well with completely random and spontaneous training. I need something in between; a number of workouts that need to be done and a given amount of time. That means it’s going to be easier to stick with training when I’ve got races coming up. Here’s a list of the ones that I would like to do over the next nine months. Some I’ve already signed up for, a few are maybe’s, and there are several that I definitely want to do. I’ll be happy if I can complete at least half.
