Low Key December

While it is my plan to take a consertivitve approach to training in December and try to embrace and enjoy the festive season my mind is stlll occupied with planning out races and my training schedule come 2009.

The big calendar items for 2009 that are confirmed are:

1. Dirty Duo – 25Km trail race and relay with McGregor doing the Bike leg – March 7th.

2. Kona Half Ironman Triathlon – May 30th.

3. Knee Knacker 50Km Ultra Trail Race – July 11th.

Im also keen to try and get in as many of the Yeti snowshoe races as possible and now there is talk of training for the 50km chackanut trail race down in the states in March.. Its shaping up to be a pretty large and busy year and it hasnt even begun yet.

I know that I will set and achieve my athletic goals with the right training and determination, so I got to thinking a bit this morning as to how to better round out my life so as to not weight all of my success and goals on athletic achievements and decided that I should add a Toastmasters course to this list of things to do next year as well.  I have always been a terrible public speaker and at 31 years old, I really would like to be able to carry myself confidently and professionally in a public speaking environment.  Another one for the to do list.
