Finally - it's 2008!

I made a post on Slowtwitch.com about how to deal with the post season/post Ironman blues back on Nov. 27 and it went like this:

"So I spent my year training for and completing three half IM's, three Oly's, a sprint and the big Kahuna at Kona. A very productive year indeed. Now what? I know about the advice to try some new things, other sports etc. I am doing that and will even start doing some Yoga over the offseason. I do have Lake Placid to look forward to next year, but is it normal to feel down post season? This sucks".

I got some great advice to try some new, non-triathlon related activities. I did start to do Yoga, which I really enjoy.

However, I have really been slacking in my other training. I am still running three times a week, but only biking maybe twice and swimming only once or twice a week.

It's time to snap out of whatever the heck I have been going through. I have Eagleman and Lake Placid to look forward to in 2008. I am so glad it's finally January and although the wind chill is arctic-like this week, the temperature is expected to be in the high 50's to low 60's early next week (a sneak peek at spring is just what I need).
