It's hard to believe another year has come and gone already, and that I did my first triathlon nearly 10 years ago in the summer of 2000 as at a wee 18-year-old. Even our "winter break" from "triathlon academy" has come and gone and I leave for the next adventure in Thailand (+ Malaysia + Philippines + China) this weekend.
So much has changed for me in the span of this last year, and I've improved so dramatically in ways and speeds I'd never have imagined...only dreamt about. But I dared to dream and I will keep daring. On my teamTBB blog, you can read my 2009 Rookie Season Overview, and also a review of my first decade in triathlon.
I also started up my own fan page-slash-official fan club on Facebook a couple weeks ago. I was actually surprised that in 10 days it already hit 300 members. I guess it's more than just my mom and dad that read my blog now. :D You can click here to become a fan of the Wongstar.
Exciting news--I just signed on my own personal alcohol sponsor! Haamonii Shochu is a Japanese shochu based here in San Francisco. It kind of blows my mind because when I started this website back in 2007 I was a nobody amateur triathlete who was trying to emulate the pros' websites I saw. I didn't have real sponsors yet, so instead, on my "sponsors" page, I just listed what gear I used and which companies I would like to have as sponsors in the far-off future. Some of my friends will remember that I wrote down how cool it would be if I got an Asian beer company to sponsor me, like Tsingtao. Well Haamonii is definitely better than beer, and only 35 calories per serving too! I was always more of a cocktails girl too ;)
Those are the big updates for now. This website will slowly get updated as well to reflect the changes for 2010. Some new sponsors, a 2009 photo album, race schedule etc. As usual you can get more frequent updates via my teamTBB blog, my Twitter, and now the new fan page on Facebook.
So yes, I'll try to throw a monthly update on here but forgive me if I miss one of two. :) I try to keep training and getting faster my priority and if you didn't realize, I am actually my own webmaster for this site and my own promo person for all those other internet-whoring activities. Something must be working well though, cuz if you Google the phrase "triathlon superstar" you will see yours truly not just as the #1 hit, but 5 out of the 10 hits on the first page. (as of today) Try it! Someone should pay my marketing person more!! ;)
