My first real athletic goal I learned in a spin class. These two guys were chatting, while I was huffing and puffing, and they were talking about beating the sunset in an Ironman. I envied them and wanted what they had. sooooo

I became a member here when I was like 36 or so, and in my 40th year I finally got to beat the sunset on my FL Ironman 140.6. After a few attempts I may add. 12:23:47!....................then dun dun dundun..... I ran a few marathons and such, but completely dropped organized training. Heck I even sold my bike the following weekend.

Here I am, just turned 49 and coming up on 50. I have no idea how well I can swim, unless it;' playing water volleyball. I can run, a little , and I have a decent bike again and go for long rides once in a while, and then hobble for a few days!

It's tough to have an Ironman brain, and a weekend warrior body. Plus I have this damn tattoo on my calf, and it's obvious I haven't done 140.6 in a very long time.

So I'm back..... fighting for badass 50!

Hey .. welcome back!

Have you signed up for any races this summer, even if small and local?

Good luck with the return to fitness!
