Goals For 2005

[[old] SteveV]

In my garage it's not a matter of wearing a hat. It's the cold air going into the lungs that is the problem. It irritates the asthma and really effect performance. I always warm up the garage before rowing now.<br><br>roll on springtime

*Save enough money to buy a brand new Colnago CT2 roadbike (okay, it ain't rowing but it is my favourite activity )<br>* 37min 10K<br>*15500m 60min<br>*Go from 94kg to 82kg before April (I am already down to 91kg since getting started on my new C2 D in Mid December). It will make tackling the alps on my existing steel roadbike just that little bit easier.<br>*Reach an intermediate level of Pilates mat workouts<br>*Complete my Goethe certificate in German language skills.<br><br>That'll do for 2005.
