Final Thoughts on 2012
Jeff and I celebrated 5 years of marriage and 9 years together.  Some things just get better with time, I'm glad to say this is one of them.

Triathlon had its hard moments this year, feeling the training fatigue of doing an Ironman 2 years in a row, but I also saw tremendous growth and improvement across the board from the work I did.  I made wonderful memories training with friends and tackling difficult terrain and exploring new places.  I couldn't have done any of it without my training partners and lanemates and friends.

I've put the groundwork for many changes into effect this past year and I hope to see them come to fruition in 2013!
