School, resetting, planning

Nothing interesting have been happening lately. A lot of schoolwork almost to the point of exhaustion, watching the weather get worse and worse and days get shorter. This really is a tough part of the year as trying to get re-energized in these conditions is not easy! BUT I'm in a much better space mentally this fall as opposed to years past as I seem to be able to take things more mellow now. And at least I've managed to get on top of my knee issue although with all the sitting in school it requires about half a day of stretching every day!

Planning for 2010 is ongoing although I can't commit to any races yet before I know exactly with what resources I am capable of attacking next year. But one thing is for sure: I will give my absolute everything to make it to Kona in October. I really just NEED to get there no matter what! I was devastated when I learnt that the guy who got the spot before me in Honu 70.3 didn't even race in Kona!

Training-wise I'm taking things really easy until December. One of the biggest mistakes I've made over the past years has been to train too hard too early and it has done no good. So now I'm just trying to keep myself active to be in good mood.

Sounds like you're being smart with you training and planning. That will pay off huge when you get to that A race next season!

I hope you make it to Kona. Like I said in my blog, after being there this year, I'm glad I haven't qualified yet--I'm not ready for that beast...someday.

What are you studying in school?
