That's a lot of traveling!

Jo, your 2009 is going to be awesome. You've got a great coach, highly motivational, a wonderfully supportive honey and friends who will yell at you if you need it.


My year started stinky with a hamstring issue. I got that resolved in April, too late in the season to do 5 double centuries, the planned 2008 goal.

So I decided I would do a Half Ironman in August instead. I think my first season of triathlon went pretty well. I did two sprints, an Olympic, The HIM and a duathlon.

Lack of riding time caused me to DNF on my December 200 K. I did complete 9, one a month starting in March. I can tell you that it's really hard to only ride your bike when you're doing a 200K.

We didn't travel this year, other than Maine at Thanksgiving. I did run there on Thanksgiving Day. But everything else was here in CA.
