Having Fun - One day Ironman!

I completed my first tri's this year, 2 sprints, 2 olympics and a 1/2 this Sunday at Deer Creek.  Despite freaking out during each smiw, I love this sport.  I never intended to do an olympic or half not to mention an ironman.  I am now completely psyched about the possibility of completing the most respected physical event in the world!

I am married (16 years) with two kids (girls 10 yrs and 6 yrs) and have found out that keeping a marriage and family responsibilities has been harder than any training so far.  I definitely need to sell the ironman dream to my entire family!

After participating in marathons and now tri's I have come to the belief that true sport can be seen at all of these events through normal people.  From the fastest to the slowest participating. I believe we put professional football players, basketball, baseball etc... to shame in regard to work ethic, kindness and especially attitude.

Sorry for the soap box, I am glad I found this site and the sport!


Thanks
