2003 Season Assessment

Successes:

1. Increased and better directed bike training lead to greatly increased bike speed in triathlons

1. Two age group awards in Subaru series races

1. Shifted strategy and priorities after Peterborough Half-Ironman successfully to sprint triathlons to win age group awards

1. Trained to swim like a swimmer leading to better technique, speed and endurance

1. Pushed over closing 2-3 miles of Disney World to similar split times as beginning of race, demonstrated ability to go fast at the end of the marathon and caught many slower runners

1. Gutted out two tough long runs to finish with poor preparation and nutrition at Muskoka and Peterborough

Shortcomings:

1. Lack of focus on running training (no marathon to prepare for) lead to poor run splits in longer triathlon events (Muskoka Long Course and Peterborough Half-Ironman)

1. Identified A priority races but did not prepare for races treating them as A priorities (Peterborough Half-Ironman in particular)

1. Poor weight management and diet strategies

Goals for next season:

1. Boston qualifying time in a spring marathon (Ottawa?)

1. Continued success in Subaru series with age group awards

1. Ironman qualifying spot?

1. Improve on swim performances of last season

1. Better run preparation and race performance in triathlons

1. Improved race nutrition at long distance triathlon events

2004 Season Assessment

Successes:

1. Ran high volume in training prior to planned marathons (6-7 3hr+ (probably ~35km) runs) and yielded strong personal best results in two early season races despite a lack of specific speed training

1. Strong triathlon results performing in entire season series to collect points (numerous age group awards at races, including age group prize money at Guelph Lake Olympic and Belwood races, age group award at end of series)

1. Strong results at end of season running races, ran back to back races for three weekends, raced back to speed to set new PB in half-marathon in final race of season

1. Continued to build on biking and swimming training success of 2003 season

1. Joined road cycling club, longer rides, riding in a group situation

Failures:

1. Injury prevention and management. Added too much of something new (hill repeats), too quickly in early April and wound up injured. Then ran on injury for too long, preventing healing (despite improvements in injury condition and setting a 10k PB at Sporting Life) and resulting in loss of two planned marathons (Mississauga and Ottawa).

1. Technical problem at Northern Triathlon resulted in DNF – asked by other competitor to borrow valve extender, started to unscrew valve extender but realized it wouldn’t come out of the rim, tightened back on, but removable valve core became loosened and couldn’t properly re-tighten, tire wouldn’t hold air, no spare tubular tire, race over.

1. Still poor race nutrition strategy for half-ironman distance despite new PB at distance

Goals for Next Season:

1. Boston qualifying time

1. Avoid injury problems in run training

1. Better planning of training program in advance of season including speed specific sessions

1. Better race pacing and nutrition strategy for half-ironman and longer distances

1. Strong building season for Ironman in either 2005 or 2006 (probably)
