Get Ready, Get Set, Go moderately easy ...

FTP testing yielded 232, which for indoors is expected (I was hitting 240 outdoors at the end of last season), and my 1000m swim was 18:45, so 1:52/100m. My pool yardage fell short -- with only three swims, and two of those largely drills, I didn't even break 8k.

I spent most of the week feeling like crap because of no-sleep (sick kid), sick me, and work-related carousing (cf sick). Also batchin' it (DW is away for the weekend in Toronto at a show), so minimal time for anything other than child wrangling. Would be nice to get the long run in tomorrow at some point...

My ever-evolving 2012 race-plan now looks like:


Around the Bay 30k run- March 25 - Hamilton
Paris-Ancaster 60k XC bike - April 15 - Ancaster
Victoria's Duathlon - May 20 - Waterloo or Ohio Triple T - May 18-20 - Ohio
Tour De Grand 160k bike - June 10 - Cambridge
Guelph Lake I Olympic triathlon - June 17 - Guelph
Tour De Waterloo 130k bike - June 24 - Waterloo
Peterborough half-iron triathlon - July 8 - Peterborough
Centurion Collingwood C100 bike - Sept 16 - Collingwood
Tour de Hans 100k bike - Oct 1 - Waterloo

Note the bike-heavy and local overtones.

I've signed up with Braun's to "race for them" (ie, show up at events in their kit, blog/tweet/etc about racing, and volunteer at a couple events). This is the first year in a while they have a team presence, so it'll be interesting to see what shakes out.
