Goal Setting 2009

I have been re-reading Joe Friel's training bible again. My goal this week is to officially lock down the 2009 training plan. I first need to pick my "A" races for the season. Joe suggests no more than 2. That's the tough part.

Currently I am thinking that 1 will be the Hammerfest for two reasons:

1. It is an official USAT sanctioned race
2. I completed this race last year, so I have a benchmark to work with

The second A race will be trickier. Sachem's Head has sentimental value, but I would like to see if I can complete an Olympic race in July...if I can find the right one!
