Intentions

Before Ironman I set an intention.

I would go as fast as I could with respect to the entire distance.

I would be true to myself.

I would have fun.

I would dig deep if needed.

I would learn a lot along the way.

I would do my best to get my husband off to the airport on time.

This meant finishing by 6:00 p.m.

I accomplished these things.

The 2009 season is complete.

It is time to set some new intentions.

In 2010 I will learn to swim and run faster.

I will ride my bike to the best of my ability and beyond my current ability.

In 2010 I will slay dragons.
