Various running races at intervals if and when I can be arsed.

Dorchester, Salisbury, maybe Winchester sprint tri
Bournemouth Oly, possibly???
Bournemouth pier-to-pier swim. Great fun, big team, 2k OW swim.
London Olympic (love the show, love the crowds, hate the travelling)
Southampton sprint, probably a big team event/laugh.
Brighton Oly, was entered this year but hip blew up. Will do in '09
New Forest 70.3 is my big target for '09.
Other 10k races as they occur. Probably need to do more on the bike, but don't have time to join a club.
Anyway, great time of year - sod the weather! Lots of base training and planning events! Easy, steady but still exciting!
