So with the start of 2009 it’s time to start laying down some sporting goals for the new year.
I’ve decided on the Lake Steven’s 1/2 Ironman in August as a primary objective for the year, (1.2 mile swim + 56 mile bike + 13.1 mile run). It’s the main race in the area for this distance and should be a good intro into the sport. It’s also a world championship qualifier so should get some top notch competition to measure myself against. I registered today so am now committed!
Other secondary objectives which will depend on our growing family commitments are
1) Completing a Super randonneur series (200/300/400/600k) in 2009
2) Riding the GoldRush 1200k in July in CA (to finally get a 1200k under my belt)
3) Running the Seattle marathon in November
Longer term objectives are a full Ironman in 2010 and a fast PBP in 2011 (Charly Miller) …
