1st Blog

Hello All - I am starting this blog to give you up to date information on my journey through triathlons and my ultimate goal of Ironman Wisconsin in 2011. As of now, I just finished my last half-marathon for the season. I ran with Joni at the Des Moines Half Marathon and it was amazing. So many people and the weather was outstanding (except for starting at 33 degrees...brr!!). She did excellent and finished the run without walking....so much better than I did at my first attempt.

Well starting to plan my race schedule for next season. As of right now, the only definite date is June 6th and that is the Half Ironman (HIM) Kansas 70.3. This will be my "A" race next year for sure. I am still undecided if I will run in the Council Bluffs Half Marathon 2 weeks prior to my HIM. I guess we will see how my body reacts to the training. I am sure I will plan a few smaller triathlon's along the way and maybe the Pigman in August and possibly the marathon in Des Moines next Oct. Who knows, that is a long way off right now.

I am taking this time right now to rest my body as I was in full training mode since March and my body needs a break before wrestling season starts up Nov. 16th.

Well that is about it right now. Just kicking this blog off and trying to figure it all out. Hopefully I will get some pictures up.
