Red Zone Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Are you going for a slot? That 11 session a week My real aim is a top 10 in my Age Group 35 - 39, I don't think I have what it takes to podium. In the incredibly unlikely event that a slot is rolled down to me, I cant afford to take it anyway. Planning on qualifying for Kona in the 40 - 44 age group rather.
