Back in the Saddle Again

The old blog has been dull for a time. Not much to say but now I think is a good time to re-activate.

For all of our TeamBigWave donors we promised a few suprises this year. So here's one fer ya.

End of this month, I will be attempting the Ironman distance race at Louisville. Seemed like a good way to celebrate Lisa's successful treatment three years ago.

I have been in training for about 9 months now and I must say that I have left myself a little short. My hope was to have enough training to guarentee a slow time but a finish for sure. I left myself holding on for dear life and will need a near perfect race and a little luck to complete the race in around 17-18 hours.

To review: The swim is 2.4 miles in the Ohio River--I know --THE OHIO RIVER. Next we move onto a 112 mile bike. The course itself is beautiful but an absolute monster with several thousand feet of climbing. Finally a marathon through the streets of Louisville. Oh did I mention that UK and U Louisville decided to play a football game on the very same day and right on the course.

More about all of this over the next month.
