So this year saw the start of a new job - well not really a new job so much as a move within the company. It was one of those opportunities that was hard to turn down. It certainly will not mean I am any less busy but I no longer will have a daily 100 mile commute. The 100 mile commute will be on an infrequent basis but my regular commute will be about 25 miles - which is perfect for riding. The new office also has a small gym for weights and is in Tysons so I can also run. Seems like it should be perfect for training - if I can schedule around the work and travel. Already looking at being in Cairo the week before my first Sprint Triathlon. I guess planning is going to get more and more critical.
The riding to work will also be nice so I have less dependency on my 4 wheels - which has been costing some extra $$s the last few weeks :-(
The job should be fun though - working with governments and other people for protection of Critical Infrastructure. Seems like planning for things will be big part of my work and non-work life for this year.
Now all I need to do is to find some good books on re-learning to swim. It is not that I cannot swim - BUT I certainly need to learn to swim more efficiently. February will be the first time in a pool in many years so I need to get some training aids to get me over that first big hump.
ISHI - Japanese for DETERMINATION. Some would say I am stubborn - others opinionated - but in reality it is determined. I believe it is determination that got me through the challenges I have faced and allowed me to start this new and wonderful life. I will stay determined and we will have as much fun as we can along the way. Read along for the wonderful adventure.
