2008???
What is in store for the Brawn family in 2008?
2008 is shaping up to be another big year for us. With January already under way I have another week of holidays before school starts (January 13th). Then the fun and games begin for another semester, our last, here in Egypt. Once back to school I am full swing in Basketball practices. In March I travel to Oman for our Varsity Basketball Championships. At the same time Jaz travels to Minnesota for a 10 day intensive yoga training seminar with David Swenson. In February she travels to Dubai for her JV Basketball Championships. The end of February we will make or way to the Sinai for the annual Taba-Sharm cycling trip. Also sometime before the end of March we have a cool run run-bike weekend scheduled...run Ein Shafala on a Friday (40km completely off-road through the mountains), followed by a Saturday mountain bike ride through Ras Abu Gallam.
That is our winter season. Beginning in March the final sports season starts with Track and Field, culminating in the Screaming Eagles Track meet in May. Following Track it will be a quick finish to the school year.
Summer also will be crazy busy this year with the family travelling to Switzerland for the month of July so I can take my Masters in International Education at Leysin. Then the big move, we report to our new jobs at the American Community School in Abu Dhabi on August 4th. ACS is a great school and one of the premier schools in the region. I will be full time atletic director and Jaz will be teaching high school PE. We will be very sad to leave Egypt, but are very excited about our new positions and our move to Abu Dhabi.
On August 21st, I will fly from Abu Dhabi to Penticton to compete in Ironman Canada. This will be my second Ironman and I'm excited about the opportunity to have some family there to watch and to compete with my two training partners from Egypt who have also registered and will be making the trip.
The rest of my race calendar is up in the air right now, but I know I will have some local races in Egypt leadin up to the end of the school year and I'm sure I will get in a race or two in Switzerland as well. Once the school year begins, Dubai has a busy tri calendar as well.
As you can see 2008 is shaping up to be a busy year and hopefully as enjoyable a year as 2007 was.
Cheers
