------------------------------------------------------
Overall for the year, I was definitely overinvested in All-Round weightlifting and will dial back. I still want to compete and host events, but stick to around 1 per month and drop the BSAG for 2026.
In looking at the season to date, I want to be more deliberate about All-Round Weightlifting. Looking at the season, I want to target 1 event per month and drop the BSAG. 2025 was overkill.

Hyrox has still been the highlight of the season. I was not prepared for Wellington Swim-Run and missed registration for Littlefoot Triathlon. I did not make time to train for Highland Games. Overall balance of the year has been good, but do find myself going all in on All-Round.
