As I ran today at lunch, I wondered how much longer the incredibly beautiful fall weather is going to last. And then I wondered if we would have another long, wet spring in 2011 like we did in 2010.

So how does this affect your annual training plan? Well, if you're like me and basically don't ride your bike outside when it's below 60 degrees, you can start preparing yourself mentally for a long winter indoors. You can also decide that now is the time to build up to a two-hour trainer ride followed by a one hour run that will happen sometime in April.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
