Swim, bike, run, eat! That's the agenda for the next 8 months, and barring a world crisis for me to solve, that will remain my priority for the duration. I am thinking of taking Cristmas day off but only if I'm really freakin tired. Over the Xmas break I will decide on my training races for the year as well, including finding a marathon that I can live with. Since my local marathon (London) has been discontinued I will either have to travel quite some distance to find another small race, or compromise and do one of the bigger Toronto area events. I do not like the big races as most of them now run point to point which drives me nuts. You have to take a bus or get someone to drop you off at the start. Of course we are already slated for Around the Bay at the end of March which is also a pretty big event but at least they end up where they started. On top of that I will also do a short duathlon, a middle distance triathlon, and a half. I am excited about that because there is one in Welland this year so I will be able to swim in the old canal (which is very nice actually), rather than in the weed infested lake in Peterborough. I think I committed to kicking old John's ass in Belwood as well, so I will have to check the date of that. I think it actually falls the day after what will be my longest and toughest workout of the entire year so the ass-kicking may be kind of tame!
OH, OH! John, I just checked and I don't see the race on the trisport canada schedule??? wtf??? Do you know? Is someone else running it? If not, it's gonna have to be Guelph in June. You better get training! Guelph is nice anyway. I know some people there who will put us up for the night. :) Then again it's the week before the half....hmmm....
Whatever works out it's gonna be a fantastic year. Of course I got to get home first. I'm about 7 hours into my 21 hour trip. See you tomorrow. I cant wait to get back at it!!
