I am training, but I hate super structured programs, so my workouts are targeted, but not obsessively so. I have a couple of goals where I am more concerned about finishing within a certain time than anything else. I have no delusions about winning. The first one is a century with 12,000' of climbing, so I have a climbing specific workout once a week. The second one is my first half iron man, so I have a weekly workout that is long stretches in the drops at a high cadence. Unfortunately, this time of year, they both have to be simulated on the trainer. These aren't contradictory, because at the end of the summer, my ultimate goal race is a HIM with 7000' of climbing, including an HC climb.

These are, of course, in addition to the running, swimming, and strength training that I do.
