Subject: RE: Who said you'd 'never do an IM' but did? Did my first Sprint a couple of years ago after having run Boston and finding myself looking for a new challenge. Didn't really know how to swim and didn't own a bike. That first sprint almost killed me. I was almost DFL on the swim although I came in middle-of-the pack on the bike and 15th overall on the run. It was at that time that I thought "an IM is impossible", "how can it be done?"
Well, that's what hooked me. It became so fun to discover how far I could go. Two years later after a few Oly's and two HIM's I completed the Expedition Man Iron Distance Triathlon in Lake Tahoe (held 8/24/13 ). I almost DNF'ed but came in at 14:50 for my first IM. I missed my goal time by over one hour. So, I'm doing another one in 2014 to redeem myself. Full Vineman 2014 here I come. Never say never!!! It is possible! Edited by Lock_N_Load 2013-10-19 12:01 PM
