Another year has come and gone. 2017 has been an interesting year in the world, that’s for sure. Definitely one for the record books. But personally, it’s been a pretty decent year. I’m ending it nursing an injury, so sports-wise I’m a little frustrated, so it’s been good to look back at all that I accomplished over the year.
At the beginning of the year, I set some goals.
- Continue with Swim Bike Fuel Nutrition Plan
- Increase my FTP
- Volunteer More
- Spend an Hour a Week Crafting
- Try to Keep My House Clean
I’d say I hit about 50%. Sometime mid-year, my diet fell off the rails, but I didn’t start gaining weight back til November. It’s the holiday eating, I’m sure, and I’m hoping to get those few pounds back off by the end of January. Getting back to basics will surely help.
I did manage to increase my cycling FTP by leaps and bounds. I’ve still got plenty of room for improvement, but this was an awesome year for biking.
I got in some race volunteering, though not as much as I would like. Planning to continue to step that up this year. Race day volunteering is so much fun. It’s also exhausting.
Crafting… yeah, that didn’t last. Maybe I should go for one hour a month. And my house, well it’s a total disaster, especially since I was so busy through December. I think that getting the house clean is probably a more important goal, but it’s way less exciting.
Race wise, it was an excellent year. I broke my five year old half marathon PR and had some amazing triathlons. I PRed a couple of races and I even jumped off of a ferry to start a race. I got to hang out with friends and Coeur teammates all through the race season. It was an incredibly fun year. I definitely missed doing a big long race, but I had a blast with the shorter races (and when I’m out doing 60 mile rides, I’ll probably regret the decision to race long in 2018).
Still figuring out what 2018 has in store, but I’m sure it’s going to be a great year!
