Last Day of 2011 has arrived and I have to say it was an amazing Year for me, I have archived so much, I never thought I would have been able to do all this I did this Year.
I did a Triathlon ( Sprint ) I did a 32 Km Night hike , which was the toughest thing I ever did in my Life but I finished it.
Sounds a bit weird but I'm proud of myself, because I have realized doing all this makes me a happy Person and that feeling is really good.
The Plan for 2012 is out and if I only manage to do half of the things I want to do, then I will be a very happy and very likely also a very healthy Person.
I just finished a nice healthy Stir fry and after eating nearly only Carbs over the last 10 Days, this Healthy Lunch felt really good. So back to the title , I don't really think that these are New Years resolutions, they are just a continuing of my current plans.
I finish of the Year 2011 with 71.6 kg of Weight which is an BMI of 28 , this is still in the overweight Class but I'm getting there
somebody who has started to enjoy Exercise and actually got hooked on doing Triathlons

and here is the plan for the first 6 Month of 2012
Decision has been made, I have decided on the Run's / Races I want to do in the first half of 2012.
That Racing Calendar looks really Scary and at the same Time I'm really looking forward to it.
If I really will be able to pull this through , then I have done it .......
From February to April I will do each month a short 5-10k Running Race, I have found some nice trail Run's.
Those Races are short but Though.One 10km Road Race in February.
Then in April comes the Big one , a "short" Adventure Race , which consists of roughly 12 Km Running ( 9km of them in the Hills ), 30 km Cycling and 2 km Kayak.
If I manage that, then this will follow by 1-2 Duathlon's, one other 10km Road Race in May and lastly the other scary big one which is my fist Olympic Triathlon
Lets see if I can tick all these Boxes in a couple of month Time :
3 Trail Runs ( 4-10 km )
2 km Road Races
2 Duathlon's
1 Adventure Race
1 Olympic Triathlon

another 5k Santa Run done
this was the last Race/ Run for 2011 and at the same time this was the first Race of my next Season , at least that's the way I like to see it .
Great amazing Fun run , 800 People in Santa Costumes running on the Beach.
Those Kind of Run's always remind me why I do this, I don't do running because I like it very much , no I really like the Atmosphere at these Events.
Some of them are just for pure fun and everyone is just enjoying himself / herself some other Races are very competitive, but even on those Race I usually get a thumbs up or a Well done from the other real Racers/Runners, while I'm trying my best to finish that run .
Looking now really forward to 2012 , I had this Year some though races and I want to do most of them next Year again and I want to add quite a few more to the Catalog.
Especially Duathlons and my Triathlons.
Also of course I hope to start the Year 2012 , with a Weight below 70kg ( 1-2 pounds until I have reached that Line ) , and if I loose after that, 5-6 Kg more then I have done it .
That would be called "normal" Weight for my Height, wow that will be great after 20 Years of obesity.

finally back in the Race Game
Today I did a 5 km Santa dash Race, I know 5 km don't sounds very long and they aren't and I was not able to run through them in one go but it felt good to be out again.
I had a really bad Cold for nearly 4 Weeks , and 4-5 Days ago I still had a very soar throat and was living of Painkillers and other nasty tasting Stuff.
The Race felt really good and for the first Time I did not put myself under any Pressure , I walked when I needed to walk and I ran when I felt i could do it .
Next Weekend I will do another short Santadash Race and I will call that Race the First Race of the new Season , so today was the last Race of this Season, Here is a Summary of Races I did :
7 x 10Km Races
2 x 5 km Races
1x 10 mile Race
1 x 8 km Race
1 x 21 km ( Half Marathon )
1 x Super Sprint Triathlon ( 600m Swim , 16 km Cycle, 4 km Run )
and one huge Night Hike of 32km (I know this was not a Race but it was the toughest Challenge I ever did )
and I practically did not do any specialized Running Training or not even running Training at all ,which might explain why I mostly finished at the end of the Race . Lets see if I can improve my Times next Year with coordinated running Training , which I defiantly will have to do if I want to survive a Olympic Distance Triathlon which I have signed up for
2012 here I come , and the Plan is to do loads of 10 km Races , 1-2 Half Marathons 2-3 Triathlons and the Night Hike again ????? Oh and if possible a Adventure Race , sounds crazy yes it is ;o)
