Resolutions

Since we've been on the road for the last few days, this post had to wait until today to get written and posted.

What am I looking for out of 2011? More. More family time, more income, more camping, more triathlons, more mountain bike races, more fitness, more photography, more of everything.

How are we going to get to more in 2011? By putting together and implementing a plan of action.

What are my resolutions for 2011?
- Be more patient.
- Be less reactive and more thoughtful.
- Actuate (this is also my guide word for 2011).
- Ride more, motorcycles and bicycles.
- Pursue alternate revenue streams (via microstock photo sales, computer repairs or something new).
- Clear out the clutter!
- More camping trips.
- More individual time with each of my boys.
- More individual time with my wife.
- Less individual time with my computer(s).
- Finish up and cross off old projects and tasks.
- Reclaim our bathroom.
- Repair our deck.
- Replant (or sod) the backyard to reclaim it.

I reserve the right to add to or remove from this list at anytime and to pretend like nothing's changed.

Hope you are having a wonderful start to 2011!

Planning the 2011 Racing Season

I've started to look at races next year to map out what I want to try and do, what my wife wants to try and do and also looking at the longer race weekend camping trip getaways.

Here's the initial work up I've developed and it looks like March into May is going to be the busiest time of the year with two or three tris and the Sea Otter Classic in the mix as well.

While I enjoyed doing the Santa Cruz Sprint Tri, I think I'm going to go for off road triathlons. I just don't really care for riding a bicycle on the road and its hard to be competitive without dropping a big chunk of cash into a road bike that, to be honest, I don't even really want.

Anyway, here's the schedule that's starting to come together.
