2015

As I lay here in bed I've been pondering the reasons one puts in the training time, effort, dedication, sacrifice and EXTREME selfishness to compete in an IRONMAN.

I can confidently say my motivation today is new and unique compared to 2007. In 07' I was still in college and just putting in enough time to hear the epic phrase "You are an IRONMAN," 12:22;42- A time I'll always be able to recite effortlessly!

I struggle to pinpoint just one reason so here is my list - competition, self-improvement, accomplishment, proving time and patience does heal injuries, comradery, finish line photos with Hayden and now I'm always dreaming about Kona- actually qualifying or (more realistic) lottery! 

While I haven't actually signed up yet I've started penciling in what it will take for IMKY in 2015. Hayden will be putting in a lot of miles with his Dad and ill be fast as lightening on the run course without the damn stroller! 

Congrats to all racers this year - especially my wife for killing an Olympic distance tri 7.5 months after bringing Hayden into the world!

Cheers as the summer winds down and fall settles in. My next post will hopefully include my IMKY confirmation number!
