Back in January when I was setting my 2008 cycling goals I didn't set any mileage goals, but so far in 2008 I've ridden a total of 3002.23 miles and climbed 122,183.7 feet. In the past 6 months I've lost 23 pounds! First on my list was completing a century ride. I thought it would come later in the year at the Outlaw Trail 100, but instead I rode the 106 miles at the Armadillo Hill Country Classic. Now that I've joined the century club, now it's time to put a completion time to one. One other goal was to improve my climbing, that is coming along, cutting my time in 1/2 on the Limecreek Hill might be a bit far fetched. I'll keep plugging away at it though. My best time in 2008 so far is 4:05 which is obviously better than the 4:52 time I posted in December 2007. I might have been too aggressive with that goal, but I'll keep riding up it.
Updated 2008 Goals
- Ride at least 10,000 feet of climbing in 1 day
- Weight 175 -180
- Ride the Outlaw 100 century ride October 18, 2008 in 5 1/2 hours
- Compete in at least 1 race and gain a Cat 5 status
- Volente/Limecreek 10 mile time trial averaging 22 mph (27 minutes)
- Increase threshold power by 12% (Not sure what a realistic number is as I'm just starting to train with a power meter)
So far the first 6 months of 2008 have been great, I've had a lot of good rides with some great people.
