Where do we even start with this year? I half wondered if there was a need for a round up post but decided there was.
Needless to say it did not go as planned, but that is the same for everyone. Events were cancelled. Goals changed. It’s been emotional! But let’s focus on the positives.
When it came to my top 9 photos from the year, I was worried about it, but there are still so many memories, so I won’t focus on the negatives as there are too many smiles to do that!
2020 Events
So pretty much everything got cancelled or deferred. However, some switched to a virtual format and so I did manage to complete the following:
- Vatternrundan virtual 315km – yep that was it, but it is my favourite so I am happy with that.
2020 Training
My set up at home is great so I have been lucky in being able to continue training. This was definitely something I needed to add a bit of structure and normality, completing the following:
- 6 week bootcamp course
- 6 week tailored cycling plan for me
- 6 week FTP Builder plan on Zwift
- 8 week Gran Fondo plan on Zwift
- the annual mileage goal I set myself
- achieved 100 of the 137 badges available in Zwift
Other 2020 Highlights
- multiple weekends away in our camper van – so good for the soul!
- more time with family
- more time with friends in our ‘bubble’
- improved work/life balance
- more time with the dog – actually a little worried how she will be when we do return to normal working days
- took up MTB (definitely need practice on this)
- had a number of gravel bike adventures (same note as the MTB above on this one)
2021 sees me as a Foher ambassador again and I could not be happier about that! The support from my Fohfam has been amazing, as always, but this year even more so. It is always nice to see so many in the virtual world – lots of kudos and riding together.
Like many, I have a number of events that have been deferred from this year so fingers crossed they take place.
Here is to an even better 2021!
