Goal: In 2012 I aim to go sub-12 hours, 11:07:00 to Kona

I need to run a < 3:51 marathon = 5:30 per km pace.
5:43/k = 4:00/42k; 6:00/k = 4:12/42k 2:17 per lap of the track
and therefore I need to be ~200lbs or less.

Swim:70:00, - more longer swims in the lake.

more long runs this year - to reduce the need to walk.

bike at 6:00:00 at 30kph does it. I will do more century rides, beginning in March. Wednesday uphill time trial.
