3 Phases to Going Pro

To prove to myself and others that I am both serious about becoming a pro-triathlete and understand the dedication and sacrifice necessary to make it happen, I am going to lay out my plan on these pages. I will keep this plan a “living document” so that as changes come I can react to them and plan accordingly. As goals are achieved I will continue to check them off the list and let you see how I progress throughout this journey. Once I get there, you will all see how it was done and see how it can be done in the future.

There are 3 Phases to my plan and they are broken down into a beginning phase, an intermediate amateur phase, and a final “pro-push” phase. Each phase contains a list of goals and achievements necessary to reach the next, as well as a date by which I hope to enter each phase.

Phase I: (Winter 2009)

Phase II: (Summer 2010)

Phase III: (Winter 2010)

I will keep regular training logs as well as updates to my plan if any changes need to be made due to circumstance or other external occurances. As you can see, I’ve got my work cut out for me!

    I wasn’t born with natural ability, so I’m going to have to overcome that with good goal setting, planning, and tons of hard work. I look forward to seeing you in Clearwater, when I get out of the service I plan on moving there :)

    Good luck! I have zero natural ability as well, and have done pretty well by persistence and hard work!

    You should put join USAT at the top of your list. It’s worth paying the money if you are doing 4 races, since the per race fee for non usat members is $10.
