Season Planning Worksheet
"So this year, let’s flip the script on season planning. You’ll start with some big-picture thinking to identify what matters most to you across a season of training and racing. You’ll use that framework to prioritize the competing factors of race date and distance, camaraderie, and venue, course, and logistics considerations. You’ll look at your calendar to find good windows for training and racing. And then you’ll pick your races. You’ll build your race season with intention and in doing so, ensure that your race selection is aligned with both your life outside of triathlon and your priorities within it."
