Personal Training and Race Philosophy

I'm in the sport to have fun...remember that when things get frustrating....fun = improved attitude and performance
Races are meant to be finished
Train to ones potential in time
Have a positive outlook and attitude at all sessions and races
Focus on what is REALLY important.
Remove the distractions.

Key Performance Indicators for 2012

10km Run TT (Race) under 40min
3km Run TT under 10min45sec
30 x 100 leaving on 1.40 with pull
20km Bike TT under 30min
800m Swim TT under 12min 45sec
Maintain the weight around the 80kg
2 x 15min stretching session per week
2 x 30-45min core sessions a week
Session per week - focussed training: 97-99% of programmed session per week
Session per week - out of focussed training: 5 session per week

TimO's 2012 5 Commandments
