tentative race plan 2008

after much deliberation, mr guava and i have come up with the following race plan.

we did away with the phuket marathon considering the budget and time constraints. there are also some races which are not confirmed, so we're not going to waste time guessing. no need to plan training for them too. so we'll just focus on those that are more or less firmed.

feb: no races. only left 2 weeks. will be ramping up some basal mileage for kl marathon to get us through the distance.

30 mar: KL Marathon (a warm up for 2008 as we don't have alot of time to train for it. no big plans for pb. just want to use this race to gain inertia for the other races. keeping logistics n budget minimal.)

apr: no races. using 5 weeks to train for A'Famosa Tri. get some good bike mileage and swim speed. at the same time got to mix it up with more off road running for jun.

10 may: A'Famosa Tri. OD.

08 jun: mr25 cross country marathon. (cut off is 5hours. not an issue to mr guava but abit more worrying for me. so have to really train up for this. after this, cut down running, ramp up bike n swim.)

19 jul: PD Tri. OD. (cut down swim, ramp up run)

aug: army half marathon. (good milestone training run for melbourne. after this, do more biking on mtb)

sep: safra avventura (it's a fun race! else my mtb collect alot of dust la. in the mean time, continue to ramp up good speed training for melbourne.)

12 oct: MELBOURNE MARATHON (this is the highlight of 2008. i am aiming for my pb for this race. all i'm training for is this!!)

09 nov: powerman? i'm still pro-duathlon. =P but not sure if we'll want to travel up to perak for it.

07 dec: scsm. how can we miss this? will do for sure. it's a good jump board before the ultra. must use this to keep us on track.

end dec: mr25 ultramarathon. my goal is 8laps. period.

it's a fast n furious 2008 for mr guava and i. now abit on the low note but i'm sure we'll get into the action of things. tonight will map out more details for training.

woohoooooooo! billy tricia, jia you jia you jia you!!
