# Here we go again then.

After another long break, here goes for the annual restart attempt at this blog.  There's going to be a concerted effort this time though so lets see how long this can last.

It's been about a year since the last update but instead of trying to catch up with what's happened in that year today will just be about the lessons learned in that time.  A more detailed catch up can follow soon.

# Lessons Learned

* Listen to my body - I've learned that the easiest way to overcook things and make myself ill is to push myself just at the time when i'm feeling at my fittest.

* Weighty Matters - I'm much faster and life is much better all round when sub 180 lbs rather than at 190 lbs.

* Patience - Don't rush things, play the long game and let improvements come naturally.  I went for the improve rapidly / get injured approach last year and this year i've seen plenty of others succumb to it.

* Execution is almost as important as fitness - In general i've been really fortunate to execute most of my races pretty well so far.  Having seen others who haven't this is something that i hope to keep being the case.

So that's it for now.  Hold me to this but i'll be back next week to do the start of a review and to talk about kit.
