Well, it’s that time of year again. At least for me. Time to start getting a little more focused on my base training going into the new year. Next years ‘A’ race is Wisconsin Ironman, along with another attempt at Pacific Crest. Additional races may be Vineman and then some local endurance stuff. So, time to put together a pre/base plan. And work that up to March when I’ll begin another 6 month focused plan for the September Ironman. Need to focus on strength, flexibility, nutrition, and get in enough base miles to hit the running when the winter ends.

I’m looking forward to next years progress. This year was more about getting some type of base for the Iron distance and working up to those long rides and runs. So, it wasn’t until the end of my season that I really started putting in the 100+ mile rides, then I had to taper for Canada, then I kind of took the rest of the time off . So looking forward to going into 2007 with those miles in my pocket and trying to pick it up relatively soon and take advantage of more regular 100 mile rides and 2+ hour runs.

So, what have I been doing with my time? Well, trying to get things in shape for 2007 form a work standpoint. Been spending a lot of time working on other projects and trying to make some improvements to Trifuel. Unfortunately hitting a lot of technical snags so some of my plans won’t be possible out of the gate, but still working on improvements to the site, a team Trifuel, and more ways to bring endurance news and info to those of us whom can’t get enough.

On that point, some may be wondering why Feedstoke has kind of slowed down to a crawl. Well, I determined the name was not clear enough. Something I should have known from name issues I’ve had with Trifuel. For some reason I like food analogies? Anyway, I’ve made some improvements on the design, some new functionality will be coming, and I changed the name and URL to Endurance Report. Decided it should have more of a news feel and a name that would be pretty self explainitory. So now it’s over there. I moved those of you with Feedstoke accounts, so you should be able to log in with the same username/password. I’m really excited about this project for 2007. Hoping it will give more information and bring a greater awareness to endurance sports and the healthy lifestyle. Anyway, there’s that plug and update - sorry

Oh, and I will blog more for 2007 (more a statement for myself). The plan is to get the tech stuff out of the way and focus on content next year, which will include this blog for those interested in what I’m doing. All 3 of you
