Plans for 2009

At this time of the year, it is only natural to think of new year resolutions and goals for 2009. Having time off to ponder over the journey in 2008, I must say that it has been a very fruitful one.

Completed four marathons (Sundown, Phuket, Bangkok and Singapore)
Completed Singapore Bay Run 21 km
Completed first duathlon (run-bike-run)
Completed Saucony (5 km) and Real Run (15 km)

Not that many races, but more than enough for one year!

The other significant event is the commencement of training for a triathlon since September. So naturally, I have set my sights on completing an Olympic distance triathlon next year.

Feb 22: Tribob sprint aquathlon
Mar 1: Newton Active 10k run (accompanying MBH)
Mar 22: Tokyo marathon
Apr 19: Tribob sprint triathlon
May 23/4: Bintan triathlon (OD)
May 30/31: Sundown marathon - decided to scale down to a 10 km run on coach's advice
Jul 12: OSIM triathlon (OD) fall back plan
Aug - Nov: no plans as yet, but most likely to participate in Singapore Bay Run and Real Run again.
Dec: MR25 ultramarathon

Likely to miss SCSM 2009 due to work/vacation commitment.
