 Sun Prairie, WI |  Subject: First half-ironman, scary!I finally decided the time has come to sign up for my first half-ironman. I have been doing Olympic distance for about 5 years, and love it, yet feel like I am totally crazy for thinking I can do this. So hopefully with the help of this site, and my body willing, I will be ready when race day comes!! |

| Expert 882 Fort Bragg | Subject: RE: First half-ironman, scary! How are the hills in Racine? I heard Ironman WI is very hilly. I am considering a HIM, but I'm in the Louisville, KY area. I don't have any of them near me. Racine is about as close as any of them. |

| Sun Prairie, WI | Subject: RE: First half-ironman, scary! I actually just moved to the area. Living just outside of Madison, great rolling hills here. Im sure Racine is similar. Coming from North Dakota, so seeing hills is a blessing!! Any HIM's in Ohio?? I would think that'd be closer? |

| Expert 882 Fort Bragg | Subject: RE: First half-ironman, scary! I went back to trifinder.com and did a specific search for Ohio and HIMs. I found one just outside Cincy... only 2 1/2 hours from here. I just started tris this summer. I did a sprint. I planned on doing an Olympic next season, but a HIM is my goal. I've been a lifelong runner, a former Orienteerer and I've been doing Army endurance events (road marching mostly). I finally got a bike and hopefully will be getting a trainer so I can work on increasing cadence... decisions decisions. hlolaj - 2005-11-21 12:58 PM I actually just moved to the area.
