Your Race Season Is Over So Now What?
As the season comes to an end many athletes reflect on what went really great and areas they can improve upon. Going into the year the races I had planned were the Boston Marathon, Ironman Maryland, and Mountain Man Half and Olympic distance triathlons. I wanted to do a marathon in January but I wanted to do it with my dogs so it wasn't something I was doing for time just for fun. My A races were Boston and IM Maryland. I did end up doing a few local Olympic distance triathlons as well. I don't like to over schedule races because I think it can lead to stress and too much pressure and its important to remember that we do this for FUN! Now that its the end of the season is a great time to work on building some strength and maybe doing strength training if you've been neglecting it. If your a triathlete its a great time to work on improving the discipline that you might struggle in. If you're a bad swimmer then in the off season I'm sure the last thing
