I'm doing the Mini Mighty Man sprint triathlon
I'm going to do the Mini Mighty Man sprint/pool triathlon on April 17th in East Meadow, NY (Kong Island). I did it last year and loved it. It's a really short and quick race that you can do in under an hour. It's great for seasoned athletes to warm up for the start of the tri season, but also a safe and easy option for beginners in the area who want to try out the sport.

Training for next Tour de Donut!
I'm training for the San Luis Obispo Tour de Donut (http://www.slotourdedonut.com) bicycle race happening on May 21. These are the kinds of races that I do well in. Stage 1 is a 15 mile tour with 3 donut stops where riders eat all the donuts they can in 10 minutes at each stop. Each donut eaten earns riders a 15 second time credit for Stage 2 of the race. Stage 2 is a very tough 3 mile 5.5% time trial where riders race up Prefumo Canyon Road. The rider with the most donut eaten from Stage 1 goes first.
So I'm spending the next few weeks focusing on climbing. I did over 1000ft of climbing today on Zwift.
I'm about 2/3 of way to completing the @gozwift Ride California challenge.
I also have many outdoor training on big hills planned over the next few weeks!

I'm addicted to Zwift
I've ridden 866km on my bike trainer in just over a month. Zwift has completely transformed my bike training sessions. The miles go by quickly. My training is harder and smarter, focusing on power output vs speed and I'm already seeing improvement.
Here's my progress over the past 30+ days
Toight I rode a 20km session for 40 minutes

I rode 232 miles in 1 week on Zwift
Today I rode for a short session on 20 minutes, to save my legs for 2 long weekend workouts.
I did go strong for a short stretch to secure 2 achievements. One was the "Circuit Breaker" which I got for hitting 700 watts...briefly
And the other achievement I got was called "Jelly" for holding over 500 watts for 10 seconds

Big night on Zwift! 225 miles in 6 days + more
Another 25 miles on the bike tonight
I rode the UCI championship course (Virginia) for the first time. The course is available 2-3 days/week on Zwift.
I made it to level 11, which unlocked the Zwift Digital Camo kit. These jerseys, but I prefer the all-black century jersey which unlocks after riding 100 miles in 1 session.
I also earned 2 achievements: "Sprinter Apprentice" and "Lit" for hitting 500 watts and 600 watts respectively

Just released: my 2016 competition calendar!
I'm really excited to start the 2016 season! I've posted confirmed competition dates to my calendar, and will be adding more as I book them.
This year includes lots of Tour de Donuts in the US where I'll be defending my titles, ultra-distance bicycle races, marathons, eating contests, and an Ironman.
My big goal this year is to qualify for 3200 mile Race Across America (RAAM) bicycle race in 2017 as a solo rider. I'll do that by completing the 400 mile RAAM Texas Challenge in March and the 860 mile Race Across the West (RAW) in June.
I hope to see you out there on the courses this season!
Here are my next five events
