A letter to the past
Goodbye my dear 2015 and thank you for everything you gave me! Thank you
for amazing people you brought to my life, thank you for all joy and success! Thank
you for new passions, thank you for a few great moments of love and thank you
for praising me for discipline and hard work. I didn’t know life could be so
great and one mortal middle-class individual could actually enjoy it. 
I didn’t like winter and I couldn’t stand cycling. Nevertheless, I tried
my hand at winter sports (snowboarding) and for the first time I fully enjoyed winter
and snow! I decided to invest into Pedro and cycling equipment and I found out
I like exploring the zone I live in on my saddle! I met some amazing people, I made myself at
home in Italy, I closed a few important chapters in my life, making place for
new ones. I graduated from the University in Italy, I got my Master degree in
Serbia, I made a few Personal Bests on running, I got my contract renewed, I
had awesome time with my friends, I made a few beautiful trips.
I got criticized for staying into my boxes, holding too much to my
schemes, but since I have been building them all my life and they brought me
nothing but the best up until now, guess what, I will continue sticking to them
:P What would I like to change? Nothing, I think.
New Year Resolutions time
This is the first time I have difficulties in writing a list of New Year
Resolutions. It’s not that I am not motivated, but I don’t know what more to wish
for. I could say that I would like my 2016 to be the year of triathlon and
I would like it to be as joyful as 2015 was. I would like to have a full-time
employment, to finish one half-ironman race, to find right potatoes for Gnocchi
and make a solid Tiramisù.
And let the show begin!
If I exclude my injury and a bit of cold I caught during the holidays, I
could say that the New Year couldn’t start better!
My Garmin FR405 (named Mourinho) died on November 13th. Four
days later, my new baby Garmin FRXT920 (named Michelle) arrived and we started
having awesome time together. She’s tough! We were together on December 12th,
when I got injured. I hope she won’t witness other injuries in the year to
come, but record new PBs.
I still cannot run, but I enjoy my indoor cycling trainings watching
films or youtube workouts (this one, for instance) and I
work on my swimming technique. I’ll try to go back to gym, too. I joined two
clubs, Alabarda Bike Team (have a look at our FB page and website)
and Pool Sport Trieste (FB page),
and I’m looking forward to having some great time with them! I hope my leg will
get better soon, so I could run again and go snowboading, charging my batteries
with exquisite Goulash and luscious Vin Brulè.
Best wishes
Considering I realized all my goals, had so much fun and succeeded in
everything I was doing, I really enjoyed 2015! I cannot but wish you more
joyful and successful year than my 2015 was! May all your wishes come through!
PS
Thank you, Friends and Family, thank you Mamma Generali, thank you Friko
and thank You Munckin!
