Now that the Games have gone (World Police Fire) my aims have changed. Arriving back in Jersey and re-starting training in middle April the aims are as follows;
French Cyclosportives - 2 Races (100k/148k) - race report
Pierre Jodet - 19th May - Distance - 100k

October Sunday 07th 2007
The training is still logged (link below) with a 16wk program being undertaken for the Marathon training.
At the moment the training is aimed at the World Police and Fire Games in Adelaide March 15-25. Cycling is the order of the day, something different, something new, which will hopefully lead onto some sportives during the rest of the year.
So at the moment its a case of dodging the wind and rain. Training programs are listed below:

At the moment the only thing in the pipeline is IMC '06 August. But I'm sure as the year unfolds there'll be more, after all training for an Ironman requires some 'outings'.
Training at present? Well mainly bike work, putting in the mileage during the winter months, with a view doing a race season, therefore building up speed for IMC 06. (2005 training totals, which includes IMC biking so far, started 06th Aug 05).
Well as promised an update, as of 30.12.2005, the plan is as follows;
The present training program - cycling - finishes end of Feb 2006 and then hopefully via Tony W @ Flamme Rouge a 7 week program for road racing - getting the speed into the legs, which will take me through the Majorca training weeks (2) - different location works wonders!
Then take part in as many road races, time trials, as possible, which, in turn will take me to Ironman Canada 29th August 2006.
In between and mixed in all that will be a 16 week program for the May Hash House 1/2 marathon - this starts week of 29th Jan 06 - again this is aimed at the Ironman (still testing due to calf problem on previous 1/2 marathon) which does leave 1 discipline, swimming.
I'll figure that one out later. I think that'll be a gentle build with a combined heavy weights session - the heavy weights session will stop just before Majorca.
Events
Ok, all the above confirmed - the training page has a little up date, basically covers the above - 1 other event entered, The Vancouver Tri 4th Sept (Olympic Distance) after IMC.
So the 2006 Main Race Calender is:
21st May Hash House Half Marathon - Jersey
27th August - Ironman Canada - Penticton, Canada
04th September - Vancouver Triathlon - Stanley Park, Vancouver
08th October - Jersey Standard Chartered Marathon - St Helier, Jersey
