It's time for the digest of 2014!

2014: it's about evolution, not revolution

2014 seems quite similar to 2013. Like any given year, I had high and lows, but at the end, the year just passed was another good year. Certain changes would have made it excellent, but things just started to get in motion now, and the results will only be out later in 2015.

So, as usual, it's much easier to actually check my always updated feed on flickr in order to remind myself what happened during the last 12 months (in reality, if you can read italian, my italian version of this site is way more updated, here all I post are yearly digest and my sport activities!) 

• The year started with a strong performance at the Xterra triathlon in Buffelspoort
• We got back to Sun City for a weekend away after almost 10 years, and it was great!
• I won, for the 3rd time in my career, a football league. Once again with Panorama.  It doesn't happen that often!
• Lindsey organized for my birthday a fantastic hot balloon adventure over the Magaliesberg mountain range. It was magical.
• In May, I travelled by myself to Italy and Poland (this time with my dad, together in Poland for the first time in 20 years), to witness Jonny get married to Kinga. And finally I wore my tuxedo once again
• In July, Lindsey and I travelled back to Europe, exploring some beautiful part of Italy (Cinque Terre, Tuscany and Monaco, even if that is by France)  and celebrating my dad's 70th birthday. Oh,and we visited London once again.
• After a long training and plenty of short races, I completed my first Half Iron Man in Durban. It was a fantastic experience, and I did quite well, especially in the swimming deparment
• After the triathlon, the last months of the yeas were quite relaxing. Some MTB racing with Lindsey , the usual 94.7 with Curtis, the Tough One with Andy and the Rockman Tri by myself 
• I took Lindsey and the dogs to Stone Hill, a fantatic dog friendly place in the Magaliesberg, to relax from the races
