Train hard, race easy

Since I'm enjoying my late night oatmeal (the reasons why are a whole separate post), I thought I'd take this time to share with you the advice I got today: "Train hard, race easy." Simply put, the training program should be harder than the actual race. Meaning that I need to increase my distance goals for all of the segments. I will not update the distances now since I believe those lengths would most likely be achieved when I'm already in the phase of combining workouts, thus a new set of goals will appear at that point anyways.

Right now I'm excited to try to knock out a few more of those current goals. Especially the swimming. I haven't really done a good measure of what I can do in that area so I want to find my baseline.
