Another busy week has come and gone, my blogging is reflecting my training, few and far between. Life is busy and I am taking the opportunity to let the body rest before training for next year begins. My running this week has been victim to attendance at a technical communications trade show in Wiesbaden (Germany). Luckily the hotel where I stayed at had a fitness room and a swimming pool - my body did not rust away.
Tonight I am meeting RB for a run after work, we hope to get in an hour or so before total darkness sets in. Later in the evening she will join my wife and I, and several friends for dinner at a local event, should be fun!
While sitting in the train coming home from the trade show yesterday I worked out a tentative race plan for the first half of next year:
April 18: Deutsche Weinstrasse (German Wine Street) Marathon in Bad Durkheim, Germany
May 13: Westerwald 50K run in Rengsdorf, Germany
May 16?: Heidesee Triathlon (0.5 km swim, 20 km bike, 3.8 km run)
June 11: Bieler 100K run in Biel, Switzerland
June 26: Fidelitas 80K Night run in Karlsruhe-Rupurr, Germany
July 11: Stutensee Triathlon (0.7 km swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run)
New for 2010 will be at least one introductory level (Sprint) triathlon. This assumes that my swimming will continue to improve of course...who knows, maybe I will turn into a fish before next summer and tri (sic) an Olympic distance event...we should not place limits on our dreams.
