What Next

The off season is a hard time for me.  At this point all of my aches and pains are finally gone and I really miss training and racing with my team.  If you are a triathlete you know what I mean when I say I love what I do for a living but the thing I look forward to the most is getting together with my friends to put in a long tough workout on Saturday or Sunday.  Now that the temperatures outside have dropped and the rain falls all the time we don't get out together as much.  I got together with Mark this week for a few minutes and realized that we hadn't seen each other since late July!!!  I couldn't believe it.  It had been about two and a half months since I had seen Mark.  Mark is one of my favorite training partners because he is a competitive freak just like me.  Sometimes when we are taking off on a long ride Mark will remind me that we are going for a long ride and that we are not going to race but it always turns into a race no matter how hard we try not to race. 

As I watched this video I thought of all of the things I achieved this year and the things I want to achieve next year.  I can't wait to get started.
