Welcome 2013



Well, it is 2013 and it is following an pretty good year(2012) for me athletically. Competitively, I completed another sprint triathlon(Marshman), and Olympic Distance triathlon(Red Bank), 3 5k's (One with A), a 5 miler, and most importantly a half Iron Man(Syracuse). I even brought home some hardware - 1st overall in one of the miler and 1st in my age group in a 5k (same one as last year).  Although both wins were in smaller runs.


My goals were listed here.  My Crossfit and strength goals continue to fall to the side as I shifted my training to get ready for my half Iron Man. However over the last three months I have shifted to a higher protein and lower carb diet while I have dramatically increased my pull-up and push-up routines.

This year I am hoping for:

Competitively:
  • Break 5:30 in half Iron Distance race - looking at Tupper Lake's Tinman in June
  • Finish another olympic distance triathlon
  • Place in a sprint triathlon in my age group.
Other:
  • Get my body fat back to 7%
  • 5k in under 18min
  • Bench 200

Other than that I am sure I will compete in a few other road races but right now that 70.3 is all I am worried about.  I am also kicking around the idea of going to the Olympic Distance age group nationals  which I qualified for this year.
