I will compete in at least one event per month, be it road race, triathlon, swim meet, bike ride/race. I have no goals as far as times this year--just to get back out there after a bad 2005.

To stop eating fast food so damn much

Man, imagine if we actually did all this shit. We'd all be totally lame but super fast.

Holy cr@p, you're reading my mind. More water, less sugar, more bike. One more thing, start making daily entries in my journal again. Helps me keep track of the water, sugar, bike :-)

Shame on you for smoking.

Nice swim workout, though.

"The aspect of sport that you learn is that you have your good times and your bad times, but you share it with great people." - George Gregan

Run only when recovered...even if it means missing a run. I need an injury free 2006.

I prefer 'goals' to 'resolutions' but I think they're kind of the same thing.

-Listen to and follow what my coach says, and stop "training to train" and "train to race" instead. His words, I think there's a lot of value in that, but it requires me to be less obsessive-compulsive, and that's hard for me.

-Get 8hrs of sleep every night.

-Nourish my body instead of just eating: defined as more fruits and veggies of various colors and more variety (I'm one of those people who eats the same thing, almost every day). [she writes while eating a bowl of ice cream...)

-Stretch after every workout (I do this most of the time, but not all) and in the evening

-Break 3:30 for my spring marathon and finish my first half IM in August

-Not take running (and everything else in life) for granted.

1) Train consistently

2) Outside

3) Incorporate yoga into my training

1-do more yoga
2-put more miles on the bike in the first two months than I did all of last year.

You amaze me daily...you have much more wisdom at 18 than a lot of people I know twice your age. Never stop learning and never stop listening to your body.

less slowtwitch(but post more), more training and not spending all my money on tri gear but save a little so i can go to school again( i probably start with that after i bought a powermeter,blackwell fork + 100 wheel :) ).

Smoke less crack on the big hills.

Huff less propane before I swim.

Stop abusing eye drops.

Eat a teaspoon full of petroleum jelly every day.

Now, THERE'S the Matt we all know and love

Does this start before or after the Club swim in the 30 degree depths Lake Erie on Sunday?

Well, you know it's almost January and I'm starting to get my game face back on.

Commit to doing more repeatable, specific, and consistent training than last year. No junk.

Increase annual hours by 100

Go sub 10 at Placid

Swim well consistenly, not just at some races

#1 Be the best dad I can be! Baby girl due middle of May. First child and it has taken a while to get here.

#2 Be the best husband I can be!

#3 Get back into training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a sloth since my last tri in october. I have gained more weight than my pregnant wife.

many other things could go on the list, but this is a good start...Josh

I totally agree with you...

Faith... Stretching... Running...

The basics of life!

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday as I was swimming. Tigerchick is a very cool and smart gal for 18!!! :)

SCHWINGDING weighs only 143!!!!!!!!! WOW, I pictured you to be a big dude! LOL!!

My goals/resolutions...

1.- to put the nursing program before anything else including TRAINING and MEAT! :(

2.- to realize triathlon doesn't define me, it's only a small part of who I am and it's ok to miss a day of training.

3.- continue to work on my nutrition DAILY!

4.- spend more time with my dog, he turns 7 in March.

5.- live within my means and I'm not going to have a job, so this is going to be tough.

6. - be the best friend that I can to my friends and family!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tri-related?
- Do nothing longer than a sprint in 2006.
- Forget how to swim for at least half of the year (so it'll be super fun relearning it ha!)
- To maybe put my bike back together in the first half of 2006 (it's still in pieces in the basement from unpacking post-IMWA).
- Run like a madwoman, 6 days a week.
