2017 I’ve had Just for fun – with a purpose as guiding mantra.
2018 I’ll turn 50 and I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to use “OnTop@50” as inspiration and guide for my training and racing next season. On top in the meaning feeling content, balanced and “on top of things”. I want to build on my experiences from 2017 and further develop my physical and psychological capabilities in training and racing. There is also a competitive touch to the mantra, and therefore I’ve put together a race schedule labelled Podium Tour 2018. I think stretched targets help me prioritize and stay focused during training, and I definitely aim for at least some podium positions for 2018.
Podium Tour 2018
Ironman African Championship, Nelson Mandela Bay, Apr. 15th.
Ironman 70.3 European Championship, Elsinore, Jun. 17th.
ITU Long Distance World Championship, Odense, Jul. 17th.
Ironman 70.3 World Championship, Nelson Mandela Bay, Sep. 2nd.
Ironman World Championship, Kailua-Kona, Oct. 13th.
So I guess it is time to start training…:-)
