Goals

My goal is to finish in the top half of my age group (Male 30-34).

I am going to do a 20-week training program, which will start in July. Right now, it is time to build my base. That means increased swimming, cycling and running. I need to get into the mental game now.

In order to achieve my goal I would need to run a 12:08 race. For context, the 2012 50% man did 1:24 swim, 5:52 bike, 4:44 run. That's an average of 19 mph on the bike and a pace of 10.8 minutes per mile run. I cannot sustain either pace right for the length of those segments (ok, well I haven't tried running that distance, but the biking I know I cannot do right now).  Anyway, I clearly have a long way to go.

Wish me luck!
