what to do-what to do. Offseason has arrived for 2 weeks-nothing structured training wise. I have been so pleased with my coaching through Ironguides that I will follow their sage advice closely. I had a great 2nd year back into triathlon after my 10yr hiatus. I'm finally fit again and capped off the Southwest Challenge Series with the agegroup win, Raced the Best of the US representing NM, and finished first overall in the NM trail championship at Baylor Pass in Las Cruces last weekend.
Now it's time for my 09 proclaimations! yes, I'm putting out there....
Running Austin Marathon-AGAIN and gonna best my 3:34 there with a run focus for now although this time i'm gonna keep swimming and biking :)
Duathlon: qualify for Natls and Worlds teams and possibly go to N.Carolina ITU style-so that's after Austin and I'll head out to AZ for the qualifier
then, focus on BSLT 1/2 Iron distance and try for a slot to *gasp* Kona....
IF I get the slot
Somewhere along the way I might, race schedule permitting, try for the NM slot to BOUS again despite being one of the older fems (ugh).
I'm off next week to drive to Waco to visit my parents for some nice vacation time, then come back to El Paso and hit it hard. I've got to get prepped and primed for my new job that starts in January and do some major adjustments in time (spent in training) waaaaaaa..... little spoiled girl

Hi Gretchen! Thanks for "finding me", I did not even know you knew who I was ;-)
Some of my fondest memeories of my early days in triathlon are of "looking up" to you and Bobby at Burn Lake, and thinking how incredibly fast you are :)
You've got some awesome goals for next year!! Good luck and hope to see you sometime along the way!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
