Comments:

 - I really focused on running and enjoyed that aspect of training the most.  I wanted to shoot for a 50K last year, but never got my miles up during the summer.  I intend to commit to a Sunday long run this year


 -My swimming came along quite well.  The masters swim team held an intra-squad meet and it was great to participate in a couple of events.  My freestyle pace/100 has dropped to where I can do intervals below 2:00/100.


 -I did not bike much last year.  This year I don’t see that getting better.  I always have lofty goals to ride at lunch or on the trainer, but they have not materialized.  My average power in Q4 was up 28% compared to last year and averaged 111 watts, so I am training with higher intensity.  I have made a riding buddy in the neighborhood and that has improved my cycling tremendously.
