last day of 05.

i've come down with a little something, mostly sore throat and pnd. it's not in the chest though, so ride i will. i'm going to hit up all the bike paths today, try to do something resembling a long ride. send 2005 out right (per pat's instructions). this way, i won't feel too guilty having a few bitter woman ipa's or a few bombay saphire's tonight (or both??).

i hope everyone has a good day #365. it's been an interesting year for us, some big steps, some regressions. i guess one of the biggest things we did was buying the house. personally, the trip to california for the triathlon was right up there too, but for different reasons. that was a real toughness check for me, and i'm happy with how i reacted to it (mostly). my year away from mountain biking has done exactly what i wanted it to...it's got me hungry to race again (actually, lately i would call it starving). we lost two of my favorite people from the team, people that i have to try to beat on sundays now (and the occasional saturday). i'll still steal scott's beer afterwards though...

what else? beth moved to denmark, betsy living with us, pat running at worlds, my promotion, robin bringing home the gold at bsg. highlights that come to mind at this instant. there are more that i'm missing, but the take home message is that it's been a great year, and hopefully greatness will ensue in 2006.

happy new year.
