Hoping to do a triathlon and a few adventure races this year.

Did my first duathlon in October and was so ashamed of how unfit I was I've decided it needs to be rectified.

Hit the gym and get back down to 88kg from current 107kg and get back my 2009 level of fittness (and maybe try and get the Dublin marathon in before I turn 31 with a serious goal of one day running the marathon des sables)

Do some charity work for something really deserving like simon community (soup runds etc)

As I didn't achieve any of my top 3 goals for 2011 :( I shall have to carry them over to this year...

I'll add 'run a marathon' into that, for the simple reason that I'm supposed to be running the London Marathon in April and today was day one of training. It's going to be a long 4 months...

I did the 100km in the Wicklow 200 last year. Think I'll go for the 200km this year. Hopefully the weather will be better :(
