There are moments I have from time to time lately, where I just have to laugh.
Not because something’s funny, but because I am so thoroughly amazed by how things seem to eventually come into clarity – it’s the “a-ha” moment.
The reason for my most recent a-ha is as result of turning my attention to start planning next year. Granted – I still have an Ironman to do in 3 months, but I am ready to start planning races and what I want to accomplish next year.
This year has been so amazing… and with an initially pretty haphazard plan I was able to raise a good amount of money and a lot of awareness for the Humane Society Silicon Valley.
With all that has transpired this year, it’s become obvious to me that a great next chapter in Season 1 Racing will include both an expansion and a focus.
For focus – It makes sense to start fundraising for a cancer support charity (more on all the reasons why in a subsequent blog soon) as the primary target of fundraising.
For expansion – It seems there is an opportunity to tap the power of people I have come to know over the past year in triathlon, along with people who are new and inspired to get into the sport to help out.
It’s a lofty goal, but without big goals you will never see big results right?
Well, I will likely refine this over the next few months, but as a starting point, I think a good goal for next year is to have 3 Season 1 Racers helping raise money and awareness, with a combined goal for the year of $10,000 to a single non-profit.
It sounds daunting… definitely difficult…. but I think its possible.
So now it’s in writing. There it is, and I can start working towards making it happen (with your support and help of course!)
