Call me crazy. Some already have. That's ok. It's not something that everyone has a desire to do. But if you know anything about me, you'll know that I never do "easy". I tend to take on these huge challenges in life. And here is a new one...I got in line at 2:30 this morning to secure my spot for Ironman Canada 2008.
Let me be absolutely clear about this. I DID NOT get caught up in the emotions of watching the race yesterday and then sign up. I DID NOT base my decision upon those that I have trained with over the past year. I searched deep. Had a lot of discussions with Darren. I CAN, and WANT to achieve this goal.
I am in awe of all of those that finished yesterday. I have the deepest respect for those that started but were not able to get to the finish line. They dared to try. These athletes come in all shapes and sizes, young and old.
I have made a commitment. I hope that I can count on your support and encouragement along the way.

Congrats...a tough decision. A friend at work just finished his 3rd Ironman and I can't believe the amount of hours and dedication that goes into it. He blogs about it [http://www.spintek.net/blog/] as he's at the race...interesting read.
Good luck, train hard, stay focused.
How's the training going? What's the biggest challenge so far? Keep me posted.
