Some (sports) related stuff that I’d like to accomplish this year

Am not really one for resolutions. But then, every year, I feel I should do a few things and then the year goes by. So, this time around, am going to put this out in a public forum and hopefully that will spur me on to do these things. Here they are, in no specific order and probably not comprehensive

• CrossFit. squat 2x my body weight: Squatting is one of the best tests of one’s strength. I’ve long been a weakling, so this should be a lofty goal to aim for.
• complete CrossFit level 1 certification
• Figure out my diet and see what my body responds to, what works for me and stick to it.
• complete a “sprint” triathlon: Swimming in open water, hmm. But hey, one has to try.
• run a sub-6 minute mile: This is definitely possible.
• run 10 miles in under 75 minutes: This one’s probably the hardest. Considering that my average running speed is about 9.5 mins per mile for 10k to 20k, and 8.5 for sub 10k, running 10 miles/16km at 7.5 mins is going to be close to impossible. but then again, where’s the fun in running slow?
• learn to surf: Another am pretty confident about. No way am going to be doing what surfers do on TV but am definitely confident of doing the beginner stuff.
• Ultimate: This one is a hard goal to set. A sport that I love but never play continuously. So, no goals for this just yet.

And hopefully lose most of my tummy fat along the way. What are your goals this year?
