I'm coming round to a milestone birthday so started to think more about a future wish list (realistic or otherwise).
As a result, my list looks like this, probably in order of difficulty:
1 - Norseman Triathlon;
2 - Marathon - sub 3;
3 - Wimbleball - sub what I did last time;
4 - Own and learn to ride a TT bike; and
5 - Dart 10k swim
Do you have a list and if so what's on it? (I may steal ideas if they are good ones!)

Clearly I am aiming low and haven't put enough thought in- will now google the half of those that I haven't heard of!
Absence of love-handles.
My life would then be complete.
First marathon - VLM spot booked
First ironman - will do it the year after the VLM (prob IMUK if i can get a spot)
South Downs Way in an epic short time
After that - who knows but a ride up Mont Ventoux might be a giggle but if I got the chance L'etape du Tour would be top of my list
Yes i turned 40 last year and yes this is a mid life crisis
To be 30 again but with the lifestyle and attitude i have now

Oltre?
New ankle and knees! And a dot after my M!
Good post, I'd go with that as well
I'll settle for being able to race again once I'm over my convalescence from my hip implant op. No more IMs, the surgeon says I can't run any more marathons now. And Channel swimming is out since I crewed for the Pirate relay team and was violently seasick for 13 hours! I won't care if I never see the Channel again in this lifetime.
to win Friday's rollover ... so i can afford (and have the time) to do the things on TheEngineer's list

At the moment I'd settle for my pre-Outlaw fitness.

There was mention on this weeks IMTalk of a travel company doing the 2000 Tour de France route over 40 days sometime in 2014.
Ooooh GUCR. Good shout. I'd actually like to run a lot of the County Ways at some point, but may leave that till I retire and walk them...
