Reach 185 pounds by March 1st. May be the hardest goal.
More time on the bike trainer and bike once the weather allows. 90+ minutes on the bike doesn't sound comfortable to me right now. That needs to change before June.
More abs work. Should be daily.
Running "speed work" once a week. I have a tendency to skip that part of the schedule.
After the Florida trip to visit my dad and the Sprint Tri. Start the Half marathon training using the Hal Higdon Intermediate schedule. Also it should be time to start shopping for the wetsuit.
Possible Schedule below:
March 9th Zephyrhills FL Sprint Tri
April 27th Lehigh Valley PA 1/2 Marathon.
May 17th Pine Barrens Sprint Tri (wetsuit trial run)
If May 17th Doesn't work out then I'll do part of this Black Bear with my friends from swim class.
June 1st Black Bear Sprint Tri in PA, again this is to break in the wetsuit.
June 7th Mooseman International Distance
June 29th Mountaineer International Distance Triathlon
July looks like recovery month unless the swim class people reel me into something nearby.
August 2nd Kinzua Country Tango Adventure Race. Solo? Tango? Relay?
If I'm hooked on Olympic/International distance maybe I'll do this next one.
August 17th Northeast Maryland Triathlon
If I'm still a sprint guy, then back to WV to race Craig again.
August 23rd Sprint Splash and Spin
Sept 21st Black Bear Tri Orono ME. If we can fit in a road trip to visit Jason and Anne.
Oct 4th NH 10K. I doubt my ability to Marathon. The 10K will be fine, any excuse to be at the farm.
That should keep me motivated.

Holy $#!&, my plan may be run heavy, but Matt, I think Santa brought you a big box of ambition for Christmas!!! Sounds like a lot of fun though!
Ha Ha!
Well 2 of them are alternates so it looks like more than it is.
The 2 big races are in June. Everything else should be shorter and manageable.
Also, I'm sure I'm not at the competitive level that you run at. So my recovery times should be pretty marginal. (I say that now, check back with me after the Mooseman).
Oh, and once I lose 15 pounds all of this is going to be much easier.... right??
