Dan did such a good job describing his goals that I thought I'd take a moment to talk about mine.
First, a little look back at the previous year. I started 2012 still on the mend from a back injury and an extra 30 lbs heavier from the inactivity that came from it. Toward the end of last summer I hired a coach, Michael, from PR Fitness. I also worked with a nutritionist, Cathy, and the results were quite good. I also did my very first actual races on the bike and became addicted to cyclocross.
For this year I'm looking to build on the mild successes from last year by working hard over the winter in order to come out stronger for this upcoming season.
Goals for this season:
- Complete some century rides
- Finish at least one race in the middle 1/3 instead of the bottom 1/3
- Weigh 190 or less (currently at 208, lowest weight in 13 years)
- Complete Michigan Mountain Mayhem without walking any hills
- Earn Cat 3 license for Cyclocross (10 races or 10 points)
- Get half way to Cat 4 license for Road (10 races)
