It’s time to fess up!
It’s the start of a new month and, knowing that I am a numbers nut, it’s time to look at the numbers.
Let me just warn you: It ain’t pretty!

On the surface it looks good. All my numbers look good (except the run, but that includes a 50 miler race too). So what is the problem?
If you look at last years totals at this time, it looks bad!
February 2009 Totals:
9 Swim – 16000 yd – 11:25:00 (10.00 miles)
14 Bike – 466.0 – 35:20:50
13 Run – 78.40 – 13:39:26
January 2009 Totals:
5 swim – 8150 yd – 6:35:00 (1.88 miles)
6 Bike – 159.4 – 11:30:20
13 Run – 74.3 – 13:26:05
My last year’s numbers look way better!
Not that this means anything except I am do a repeat of last years events.
Last year I did Rage and then IMCDA this is I am doing the same.
Yep, I said that I am doing IMCDA again!
I feel the need for redemption. I know that my performance there could have been a lot better. One problem here…so far my training times are sub-par, meaning that redemption could be hard.
For the past two years, it’s been all me-all the time. And while I think that has worked out OK, it didn’t go great. Now that I have more responsibilities in my life, I have even less time to train.
I need to get faster and stronger on less time and less training. I need a solution.
With that in mind I have buckled down and decided that maybe it’s time to look at a coach.
While I am excited to be training under someone, I am sad to say goodbye to the title “Self-coached”.
