Another year, another adventure (or list of them actually)

2010 will be a big year. Here are some of my sporting goals and activities for this year:

1. Moolooloaba Triathlon (Olympic Distance) - March 28
2. The North Face 100 (100 km mountain run) - May 15
3. The Kokoda Challenge (96 km team walk) - July
4. Relay for life (100 km track run) - July
5. Rydges Yeppoon Half Ironman - August
6. Noosa Triathlon (Olmpic Distance) - October
7. Short Sprint Distance Triathlons at Rydes in Yeppoon

It would be good to do a marathon, an off road triathlon or an endurance mountain bike or road bike event, also, at some stage this year.

Anyway, I am going to track my progress throughout the year.

Currently, the physical condition that I am will not allow me to achieve any of the above events, with all of the Christmas cheer and holiday residue still clogging my waist line, my shorts, and probably my arteries.

So, on January 18, I was about 92 kg. I figure I need to be under the 80 mark to be at my best, so that is my goal weight by the Mooloolaba triathlon, which is about 8 weeks away. A good goal to get started on.

To assist with this pursuit, I have purchased a Garmin training aid (a GPS watch, that tracks distance, speed, HRM and every other statistic known to man). It is prime and links up to the computer for great results and tracking. There is no hiding with the Garmin in full swing. The results are there.

Anyway, I started in earnest this week, and I will tell you more about that soon.

I am going to track my progress weekly.

It will be a big year, come along for the ride.
