Goals for 2020

2020, a new year, a new decade, a new me (right?). Well no, not exactly. Each year, for me, builds on the last. I don’t come up with absurd goals that I don’t think are achievable or realistic. I also try to make sure that these goals push me outside of my comfort zone and force me to get better at everything I do.

Even though most of my goals are in the mountains, and pushing my limits there, the real challenge is elsewhere. The real challenge is now completing all these goals with a new job. See, for the past 2 years, ever since I’ve lived in Utah, I’ve been working from home as an engineer, on east coast time. That meant I finished most days around 2-3PM, leaving plenty of time after work to crush as much vert and miles as I could handle. My new job is located here in Park City, UT and I’ll be working much longer, regular hours.
