Wow, congrats on your progress so far! I'm hoping to do my first OLY this year, either in August or September depending on some work stuff. And hopefully a HIM in 2011 but I am nowhere near that level yet.

thanks, you prob. are almost there, swimming you have to put in the time for, and you can fake the bike, the run is the wall though, no faking that at the end of a TRI.

im doing all this with a full time job, so its possible, just takes some working around....i know when i get to ironman, i will be spent, and honestly i'm doubting because of how hard it is.....but if you put in the training, race day is "easy".

[lobsteriffic]

you're so right, the training is the hard part - not the race!

My main problem is swimming. I suck at that. And because I suck I really have to force myself to go to the pool.

I'm moving fairly soon to California (bay area) and once I do I'm going to look into signing up for a masters class, maybe that will motivate me.

[MaryStella]

Sweet race schedule TT! Looking forward to hearing about your training and your racing!

@lobster - your constantly improving. I know you can do it! Don't think of how far you have to go but of how far you have already come!
