Next Big Challenge...

As most of you know, I have been competing in triathlon events for the past 4 years or so. I have completed a variety of different distances (sprint, olympic, 1/2 Ironman) and a couple of XTERRA (off-road) events. It has been a blast as I have a few friends (mainly Jen) that I have competed with. After watching two of my close friends compete at an Ironman in Arizona 2 years ago, I was blown away with all of the different athletes (small, large, young, & old) who were competing. I've decided to up the level of challenge and next June, I will compete in the full length Ironman, it consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and conclude with a marathon run. Fun huh? I'd love to see you out on the course next June. Check out the website at http://ironman.com/events/ironman/coeurdalene .

That's quite the challenge but we know you'll rise to it and do great! Make sure and get us some details!!!! Phil did his first sprint tri (he did great!) and I have to wait and will be doing my first next year (they frown upon those when you're 7.5 months pregnant for some reason...geesh). :) Hope you're well and can make it out for the shower (hint, hint). Talk to you soon :o)
