2010...

My fingers are starting to work again after what I am beginning to call the triathletes hibernation!... What that means is that I am able to employ the famously ineffiecient two index finger typing technique to bring to you the enlightening vignettes, cautionary tales of blunder and woe, scintillating prose and ever-present hijinx you came to know and love in 2009! Don't fear, there will be enough charitable causes and serious racing and training to balance the scales within each literary excursion to make everyone satiated!

Now, since i am just getting home from a long vacation from the triathlon blogosphere, please don't expect too much too soon. As I get older, pacing is becoming more and more important. My first Ironman I just went as hard as I could for as long as I could and then gutted out the rest of the race (i.e. the marathon)...All I can say for the last four months is that it has been filled with niggling injuries, lots of sweets, family time, more niggling injuries, lots of reading, and searching internet to self-diagnose injuries ( not necessarily in order of importance or duration)... Oh, if I could only learn how to lift weights without getting injured!...I guess I could stretch once in a while, take a yoga class,etc, etc...

Well, my index fingers are tired, more to follow, training has begun...
