It happens every year when you finally complete all the sporting events you had challenged yourself to complete. I started out 2008 with an aggressive schedule of events. It was many of the events that I did last year, but wanted to do better, as well as some new challenges. After updating my website with a check mark by the last major event, I am starting to feel the Big Let Down. It is too early to get into training for next year. In fact I am not sure what I even want to do next year. I have already finished all those big events I wanted to tackle. I guess I just need to accept there is such a thing as down time. I hate it as much as I hate the “tapering” phase before competing in a big event. I guess I will do more bike racing this winter to keep my mind in gear.

Here are all the events I finished this year.  I really enjoyed that many of these were with Ann.  All those check marks showing completion are on the one hand satisfying and on the other hand depressing that I still don’t have them to look forward to.
