    1)  Surpass 2017's training volume (swim, bike, and run)

    2)  Sub-11:00 Ironman

    3)  PR something

     

    1)  Done.  Way higher on the swim, a little higher on the bike, and about 100 miles higher on the run.

    2)  I never got the chance to try since the swim was cancelled, but it would have been very close.  I suppose I did hit this goal since I finished in 9:53.

    3)  Done.  The 5K, 10K, and HM, and hit some nice milestones too; Sub-19, sub-40, and sub-90, respectively.

     

    Worth noting is out of the 22 races I did, I placed OA or in my AG in 17 of them, and won my first race.  I really couldn't have had a much better year, but I will try in 2019.

      Wow Baboon! Those are impressive numbers!


      From the Internet.

        Well I was too bummed out to set any goals since I started the year off broken, but I had a pretty solid running year after about May.

         

        - Plenty of PRs from half marathon on down (1:41:15 to 1:34:33, 10k 48:46 to 43:28, 5k 21:40 to 21:01, mile 6:01)

        - SOOOO CLOSE to sub-6 mile! The fitness is here. I just ran 4800m of intervals around 5:50 pace on Wednesday. I just need to learn to race the dang thing.

        - Started conquering my fear of swimming

        - Remembered how to ride a bike and that OMG it's FUN!
