Results Goals

  • 1 top-10 finish at a CX World Cup in Europe
  • Top-12 at CX World Championships
  • PanAm podium defense

Process Goals

  • Not yet defined by athlete or operator.

Health Constraints On Goal Setting

  • Hashimoto's thyroiditis — avoid overtraining and burnout.
  • Training must be durable and recoverable, not maximal.
  • Risk avoidance: chronic fatigue, immune suppression, or thyroid flare from overreaching.

Planning Notes

  • Priority ranking is derived from athlete intake; operator should confirm or adjust.
  • The gap between the last race (Worlds 2026-01-29) and the 6-week off-bike period means Sidney has been rebuilding since mid-March 2026. Current fitness and training status are unknown — current-status.md must be populated before planning is finalized.
  • Ghost of the Gravel on 2026-06-27 is now a specific June performance objective with a working target of about 4:35:00. The build should emphasize gravel durability, sustained climbing pressure, fueling execution, and late-race repeatability while still protecting the larger cyclocross season.
  • Specialists should treat this file as the confirmed goal hierarchy for daily and block planning.
