I don't usually vent my frustration on here

I've just been watching the news and I feel that so many people need a reality check. All the people who were stuck on the trains in the euro tunnel being interviewed on the news crying and sobbing about being stuck on the train with no drinks or food and dirty toilets. Then they had the bare faced cheek to stand there and say that the so called ordeal has ruined Christmas. How dare they when on the same news programme there was the story of another British soldier who has been killed on duty in Afghanistan. Come on people its time for a reality check! get a grip on reality you sad pathetic losers.
Whilst I'm in the festive mood, remember if you get chance to buy Rage against the machine even if you don't like it and prevent "the crap factor" from being number 1 this weekend. The song is rubbish anyway but the point is do you want to be dictated to as to what your Christmas number 1 will be or would you like to choose for yourself.

2010 - The big plan - Ambitious? - Maybe



Ok, its time to unveil the game plan for 2010. I have now put some things in place and decided what the season goals will be. I am aiming high and hope I can bring the form I had at the end of the 2009 season through into next year and try to improve on it. So what's on the cards? I have ambitions to qualify for 3 World Championships!

Part 1 of the plan - I have entered the Clumber Park Duathlon which is the national champs and also a World Champs qualifier. I am hoping to qualify for an age group slot for team GB and race the World Champs in Edinburgh in September.

Part 2 of the plan - I will submit some of my previous results from 08 and 09 to hopefully be selected for the World Long Course Champs for the GB age group team which are being held in Germany at the end of July.

Part 3 of the plan - I have entered Ironman 70.3 Antwerp with a goal of qualifying for Clearwater age group World Champs held in November in Florida.

So there you have it, my extremely ambitious plan for 2010. Is it achievable? I guess time will tell! I am also doing the London Marathon in April and hope to finally get it right. I have not had much luck at London over the last few years so fingers crossed it might go well for a change. Have I bitten off more than I can chew? probably but if you don't aim high what's the point in trying.
