2026: New Year - New Goals

[mtbraun]

Trying to figure out which one exactly with a couple of lotteries happening still. Planning on either Fat Dog 120 in BC or Wyoming Range as of now.

Fat Dog sounds killer. Maybe some day for me.

2025 was able to hit some major goals for my 40th-swim Alcatraz, pay off all vehicles, kill a nice bull-capping it off in 4 weeks running Bandera 50k.

2026 my goal is to 100% support my wife who signed up for her first full Ironman in September.

Full IM is no joke! Very best of luck to her!!!

How was the Alcatraz swim? My dream goal is to distance swim event of some sort, but I'm like baby giraffe in the water......

I am signed up for the drift 1/2 marathon ski race and my first 50k in June. Staying young and not letting the old man in.

Hardest thing I’ve ever done. Chop and swells were brutal. I started rescue swimming and diving for work 2 years ago and that was the first time I had ever done lap swimming. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything but wouldn’t do it again today for $10k.

That's quite an accomplishment and that time is excellent for those conditions! Good luck on your goals for 2026!
