Does the racing season ever really end ?
There are always races throughout the year, without having to go to the Southern Hemisphere.
As triathletes, do we migrate to duathlon during the autumn and winter, there are always running races ( road/fell ), all year, cycling goes to cycling-cross, or mtb. Swimming again is all year even open water !
Or should the racing season be modelled around races and not months of the year ? Racing in Australia or NZ at the beginning of the year necessitates training and racing over the months of Nov/Dec/Jan. Which brings us to the next topic,
One that has been discussed before, but always interested to hear others views, if we have no targets to aim for, are we exercising rather than training ?, is training really exercising with purpose, and what is your purpose, to get fit, do a particular race, get a PB, or qualifying time ?
I have my aims for next year, so, my training is geared around achieving a particular objective at some time in 2019, it is what I think achievable and not pie in the sky, but, nothing ever runs smooth. Small steps, to a big goal ( well for me anyway )..
What are your aspirations for the future ?
