So, I have decided, in the spirit of the 2008 Olympics, that next year will be a year of challenges. I have set up a series of physical challenges that will push my abilities to their limits. I'm going to attempt to complete one major event almost every month (cant do much during crew season). So far I have the GMU Erg Marathon in January (42,197 meters approx 3hrs), Feb the GMU Pentathlon, June the Herndon Festival 10K run and RTC Grand Prix 60min bike, July I'll do Muddy Buddy if I can get a partner and maybe something else, Aug the Reston Metric Century 65mile bike race, Sept either the 100 mile Tour De Canal on the C&O or the Reston Triathalon, Nov. the Herndon Turkey Trot 5k, and lastly in Oct. the Army 10 miler! A crazy list I know, but I wanna complete each of them. If I can do all that in a year, I've done something I can be truly proud of. The training begins now, and hopefully I'll be ready for it.
