So 2009 is a wrap. I was really happy with the season and my results reflected a lot of hard work I put in in my training. Racing 5 Ironmans this calendar year was a big learning experience and even though my last race didn't come together as I would have hoped it gives me a lot of confidence going into next season. Since I have just returned from my annual break I am already itching to getting back into racing in 2010. I am currently planning my season (it won't include 5 Ironmans!) and will let you know my plans in the coming weeks.
