2009 Goals

No Ironman so a little different this year:

1. Focus on racing short triathlons--I hope to race 20 triathlons this year with just 1 or 2 H-IMs

2. Training focus will be on speed work--especially running. I will target 1 running speed session/week

3. Win my AG 10 times

4. Climb Mount Rainier

Change of focus this year to include an initial foray into Alpine Mountaineering. Note change of Blog title.

Off we go!
