New, new, new....

Good ole' blog, it's been a while, just a busy time of the year. The new year came and went, and we didn't do a whole lot to 'bring it in', we found ourselves already in bed before the fireworks started going off. Anyhow- new, new, new!

New Year- This year marks me moving into the last year of my mid-thirties. Oh boy... time is just ticking away... I'll be turning 36 in just a few more days. 2010 will also mark my 5th year racing long course triathlons, and I'm hoping 5 is the charm.
New Work Schedule- I have to take 10 scheduled furlough days this year, so from time to time, I'll have 3-day weekends. Not too bad, I do enjoy the extra rest day at home. The first furlough day, combined with MLK day, netted me a 4-day weekend. Sweet.
New Strokes-Been trying to swim a good amount lately. I've been working on my technique, thanks to some good, simple tips from a local guru. Amazing, really, what someone who knows what they're doing can point out, and suggest ways to improve. I'm happy to report I'm zippin along quite nicely in the water, practicing to permanently incorporate the changes to my stroke.
New Sponsors- Not trying to jinx it, but let's wait and see.
New Race Schedule- Up soon.

In the meantime, an image that made me laugh lots....
