OP,

Ambitious goal but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm 44 and getting back into racing after...well, ok, six months off the bike.

I'd advise setting intermediate goals as well as the master plan for world domination. These smaller goals can help guide your overall plan and allow you to make corrections as needed. Plus, the satisfaction of having attained a goal is pretty motivating.

As CDR points out, RECOVERY is key for anyone who shaves everyday. Learn how to tell if you are recovered. Learn how to tell when you can do more.

NUTRITION will sink you if you don't get it right. Don't assume your diet is good. Do some reading, specific to athletic needs, and look at what you actually eat. Get this right.

You may find my blog of some interest.
