Another year closer

2009 is upon us and to me it serves as a reminder of how quickly time passes. It has been almost 7 years since I started to take part in Triathlon and the progress I have managed to make is clear, but the rate at which I have improved needs to increase.

How can I improve quicker? Efficiency, consistency and recovery; vital ingredients to every athletes training. After the poor end to my 2008 this is what I will be striving for in the next few months, although this alone may not be enough of a change.

The foot injury I picked up in November has eased enough to allow me to run without consequence the next day. I have also managed to start building up the muscle mass I lost when I was ill helping me to feel stronger in all disciplines.

But training must be resumed gradually as it is at these times you are at risk of picking up injuries and getting run down again, something I certainly can't afford to happen.
