SET AND SHARE YOUR GOALS FOR 2017!
January is not only a time to set resolutions, it is also a time to set your goals for the 2017 racing season. For many people, having a goal keeps you motivated to stick with your training. If you know where you're headed then it's also much easier to plan your training schedule.
Start by picking your A race. Your A race is the most important race that you either want to complete or do really well in. From there what are the B races or events that are going to help you practice or build up to your A race. C races can be road races, time trials or distance swimming events that get you stoked for the main event.
Take the time now to look at the event calendar and start planning your season. You will find that you are much more motivated knowing that you have a big event ahead. Then, if I haven't been doing your personal training plan, send me a quick note with your A-C races or goals for 2017 so when I'm encouraging you on deck, in the spin or on the track, I know where you're headed.
A year ago I could only tread water and had not run since childhood. With the amazing Virtual Olympic course, support, guidance, and tips from of all the folks at Team Triumph I've ended the season with my first Olympic distance triathlon under my belt and am hooked! Really looking forward to the 2025 season and even to the hard work over the winter to prepare. Karen Houle
I wanted to let you know that the Perth triathlon was a great experience, I somehow placed third in my age group! What a supportive group of participants (including Team Triumph athletes), cheering bystanders and volunteers.
Thanks to your swim lessons, I learned the technical basics and gained confidence to get back in the pool after decades. And it was really special doing this with Ann Laidlaw, my bestie for many years. We did a couple of additional swims with Kevin and Team Triumph people, also a great way to continue learning and practicing good technical form.
I will continue with lane swimming and who knows, maybe there's another triathlon in my future!
I love the accountability and the structure of the Virtual 70.3 Half Ironman training program. I don't think I would have gotten this far without the program. The accountability is huge for me!
