Hey everyone and Happy New Year! Some people don’t love the “new year resolutions”, but I thought it’d be a great idea to start a 2020 Training and/or Racing goals thread. What are your upcoming goals? Any specific things you’re looking forward to (or not)?

Long term goals for me: Race pain free and with joyous enthusiasm for the next 15 years (will reassess when in 60) Complete a bikepacking race of over 1 week duration. Be able to run over the hills in the bleakest of conditions for hour after hour. Currently can now do 1hr steady runs after start…

Updates below. I guess I was lucky that most were process goal, even if that still means lots of crosses! COVID looks to have had a more negative impact on my training based upon the below than it has in reality. I’ve been really consistent training wise, it’s the other stuff… [image] Macy: St…

and now you’re norcal famous! race was real solid, watched with some friends & we were talking about how you managed to win the sprint AFTER being in a break for a while

ya thanks! I thought it could be a fun race for Jeff to comment on. Glad he wanted to show it. I was hoping to draw out some other riders and try to get a break going but no one was that interested so I didn’t push it too hard when I was out solo. Surfed wheels to the finish like I’ve always had to …

Im not even sure where I started the year now to be honest. I was and had everything planned to race ToAD. Instead COVID hit and instead I’ve raced Redlands Bicycle Classic, Joe Martin Stage Race all on Zwift. I’ve cracked 4w/kg for 20+ minutes in the past month on a few occasions. Set a new FTP @…

Since COVID hit and I finally saw my last doable triathlon cancelled for September I am aiming to keep it simple…focus on consistent training into 2021. This means sticking to the TR training plan, albeit with a later goal date. I think one of the keys to doing this without a very defined off-season…

Midyear update! 287w is my best 20 minute effort so far, thanks Crit City. I think I can hit 300 but it might have to wait for cooler weather. Haven’t made it to Brown County yet to try to clean the Walnut trail. Too many scheduling problems due to COVID work disruptions. Still planning to take s…

Oh I forgot! I also hit a couple of drops that I’m usually too chicken to hit (they’re small, but I’m a chicken). Progress!

[image] RobertSims: Main goal - qualify for age group national team at duathalon. In order to achieve this: Consistency - 3xTR workouts and 3xruns a week factoring in any illness/injury etc. Weight - achieve my desired race weight of 161lb (currently 168) Recovery - get at least 8 hr sleep a …

Well done. Nice to see you achieve a really impressive target. You must be well chuffed.

I was thinking forward to 2021 and hopefully we have a few more races on the calendar - so I created this thread. Anyone else have 2021 goals to share there?
