Citius, Altius, Fortius
"Citius, Altius, Fortius" -- "Faster - Higher - Stronger"
The Olympic motto. A fitting way to start off my goals, race schedule, and plan for next triathlon season. Let's dive in. Shall we?
Training:
I pieced together a training plan that takes me through the end of June. It's pretty aggressive, but I know I can do it. I've already started executing it. Essentially its divided into three phases.
Phase I : Half Marathon Training - Ends mid Feb. : Primarily Running focused = COMPLETED
Phase II : HIM Base building - Ends Mid April : Rounded between all three sports = COMPLETED
Phase III : HIM Race Training - Ends in late June : Speed and endurance focused - lots of mixed workouts and bricks = COMPLETED
There's also some weights and a lot of core work mixed in. I think it is fairly well rounded.
Goals:
Half Marathon - Planned - Feb 19, 2006 -- Freescale Half Marathon = COMPLETED
Olympic Distance Triathlon - Registered - April 9, 2006 - Austin's Cactus Challenge = COMPLETED
Half Ironman - Registered - June 25, 2006 -- Buffalo Springs Lake Triathlon = COMPLETED
Sprint Distance Triathlon - TBD - Jack's Generic Triathlon
Sprint Distance Triathlon - TBD
I'm also planning to do at least 2 sprints during the season for fun - probably after the HIM.
I consider this to be a very challenging. Should be a great ride! I gotta get signoff from the "official sponsor" - but I'm sure she'll support me through another season. ;-)
Good luck out there everyone.

Good job on setting up those goals and training phases. I still need to get my act together.
I think it's a great idea to plan your sprints after your Half Iron, because it will give you something to keep focused on, and prevent you from getting bummed out at the end of the summer.
