Planet 51 in 2011

I have prepared my race schedule for 2011 in which I will turn 51 years old, so I'm going to call this racing year Planet 51!

I really haven't been able to come up with a new short-term attainable goal that is satisfying to me since I completed Ironman Couer D'Alene in June, but I think the purpose and focus of my racing has changed from "get as fast as I possibly can and try to win/qualify" to "this is so much fun and a great way to stay fit and healthy." So with that being said, I know I can and still will make improvements in my racing, but it's more important now for me to remain fit and injury free so I can kick butt when I'm 80!
