1st of March

So it seems like this is the time to start thinking ahead to July and sharing with many of my friends and family the journey to IRONMAN that I have decided to take.

Answers to the few most obvious questions I seem to get.
1. What is a IRONMAN
** ironman is a triathlon that is made up of
2.4 mile swim , 112 mile bike , 26.2 mile run
2. Is it in Hawaii ?
** as much as I would like to be doing this in Hawaii the race that many of you see on
television or equate to IRONMAN in Kona is not the race I will be participating in.
Kona is a race that you have to qualify for and / or lottery into and I assure that I will not
be finishing my race nearly fast enough to qualify for that particular event. However, believe
me when I tell you that any IRONMAN distance race is a amazing journey and for normal
everyday people like you and I a incredible journey of patience and persistence to get to the
finish line.
3. When is the race and where ???
My race will be held July 20th in Lake Placid, NY
4. Why ?
not enouth time today to give you the answer to that question but I will just say
that I am doing it for ME becasue I truly believe I can.
5. How long will it take to finish ?
Some amazing athletes will finish in 10 hours, most will finish between 13-15 hours.
I hope to finish aroun 16 hours but really only care about finishing at all !!!
To be a official IM finisher and receive a medal at the finishline I will have to be across the
finish line in 17 hours or less. So that is my #1 goal !!! Just FINISH !!!
