So I'll kick this one off... Bala Standard Distance 13th September. Aiming for sub 3hours (gimme a break it's my first standard distance!)
Anyone else?
Me too.
I am in France for a fortnight on holiday two weeks before though!
More training!!
If I learn to swim faster than expected, then I may find an earlier one AND
If I recovery from Injury faster than expected, then I may find an earlier one.
This is the first race I am planning at the moment... assuming I can get an entry!
I will probably have a crack at one of the Conehead's stafford waves if they all come off - esp. the forum wave!
Second to that, swim in 45-46 minutes, and run in less than 1:40. Considering I can't bike on the hills really at all and there's not too long left to go, I'd be happy with a 3:30 bike.
The "everything perfect and stars align" goal would be a 5:30 finish.
I might add in another race, Monaco 70.3 or Antwerp 70.3 if Wimbleball doesn't ruin me for the year.
So it can push me on for the ironman win next year.
This will be my first season doing Middle distance triathlns with my first coming up in 26 days. A "c" race at the Marshman in Kent.
It's in the sea which fills me with a decent amount of fear at the moment - plenty of time to get prepared though!
Actually mate, i might just do it with ya!! lol
New Forest Middle Distance (end Sept) for a season finisher (sub 7hr 30??) why did I enter this in my 1st full season???
First is Bala Middle in June as its the National Middle Distance Champs and im hoping for a top 15 finish a time of sub 4:20 with a shot at an age group top 3.
Second is the ETU Long Distance Championships in Prague, (4k swim, 120k bike, 30k run) Hoping for sub 6:45 and a top 5 Age Group and Top 35 Overall......
Just a small matter of getting my 4k swim down to 55 mins and my 30k run down to 2hrs.... Gona have to work hard between now and then! GULP:)
Did the longest day in 11 hrs 3 min in 2000. Yep, I'm aiming for 10 hr 59.... but seen the bike course profile!!
But as they say aim high
Also want to beat my sprint pb at Rugby in August so if it all comes together on the day I WILL go under 1h09.
Blithfield Oly in July - first olympic distance for me. 3:20 is a reasonably realistic effort for me. Under 3:30 I'll be happy.
Cotswold sprint in September: Sub 90 minutes please :-)
didds
Cheers Jester - as if I wasn't feeling the fear - you've cranked it up a few notches [:D]
I'm in the sub 2:30 wave at the moment. I'm not sure if that's a carrot on a stick or just the stick! Every other race is just for fun.
Hmm... Really got to sit down and plan training for it.
Will also be at Eton on the 16th May, Windsor Oly and London Oly
