My List and my top ten girlfriends – revisited

My List
First of all – looking at this list from less than a year ago and what I have accomplished just thrills me. See this list, not sure if I had it in me to complete much knowing what my life has been like this past year, but none the less my finishing results are putting me where I want to be and hoping to do well in Chicago and in Clearwater at the 70.3 world championships.

Sports:
Qualify for Worlds (US Triathlon Championships) –
YES and National championships too! Not sure I knew what i was talking about when I wrote this stuff.

Qualify for Alcatraz –
didn’t make the cut off for entry into the Rye, NY

Qualify for 70.3 National Championships – YES! Clearwater

Qualify for Olympic Trials (marathons) –
we shall see, depends on shape in Chicago?

Rank Top Ten New England Master (running) –
hmmm need to finding ranking place, NE Runner???

Rank Top Ten National Master (triathlon – 70.3) –
That would be very nice, Clearwater could be flat????

Enduro Race – (one per year) – I guess a 5:15 hr race, does that count?

Top Ten
Then this list – well, friends during this time are true, dear and I hold them dear. More dear than I would have imagined. Some have fallen and many have become much stronger to me. God Bless my friends!
