Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Choosing the A race for the coming season

Every other date in a season hangs off the one race you most want to go well. Picking it first, with its date, distance and entry route confirmed, tells you when to build, when to rest and which other events are worth entering at all.

First tasks

  • Write down the one race result you would most like from the next twelve months
  • List three events that could deliver it, with dates and entry routes
  • Compare the three on course, cost, travel and timing against your year
  • Enter the chosen A race or diary its entry opening date
  • Name a backup race four to eight weeks later

One season calendar holding every candidate event

Race ideas live in club chats, newsletters, browser tabs and half-remembered conversations, which is how two good events end up on the same weekend. Gathering every candidate into one calendar, entered or not, shows the shape of the season at a glance and the clashes before they cost an entry fee.

First tasks

  • Choose where the season calendar will live and create it
  • Search your inbox for confirmation emails and add every entered race
  • Add candidate races from club fixtures and event newsletters as possible
  • Colour clashes and back-to-back weekends so they stand out

A, B and C priority for every race on the list

Treating every race as important means tapering for all of them and peaking for none. Labelling each start as an A race to peak for, a B race to race hard without a full taper, or a C race run as training gives the season a clear hierarchy and protects the events that matter.

First tasks

  • Mark your A race and at most one other as A in the calendar
  • Label the races you want to race hard but not taper for as B
  • Write the training purpose beside each C race
  • Move or drop any B race within three weeks of an A race

Make it yours.

Install Race Calendar & Event Entries, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
