This is going to be a little bit of a different year for me. Historically I have just raced bikes with the odd running race thrown in. This year I am going to be doing a few more running races as well as a couple of triathlons. The triathlons are something new that I have never done before, and will be the biggest challenge training wise. I also do not swim, so that is something I will have to learn this year.
The other change is that I am trying to get the family more involved in athletics in general. If any of the kids get into any of the sports that I am into even better.
Planned Races:
- Courthouse O’Putnam 5K – Ran a 25:15
- Willi-Whammer Half Marathon – Ran a 2:04:48.21
- The Battle at Burlingame 6 Hour MTB Race – Changed Plans
- Race of Rams Duathlon – Overall Time 1:11:37.5

Season Goals:
- Stay healthy for the whole race season!

Training Goals:
- Get my weight under control. Ideally it would be between 185 and 190.
