Getting started...

I've finally created a blog!! Now I can really start to monitor my training on a week by week basis and share it with the world...



I start this blog with one goal in mind...get to Ironman status! I'm relatively new to the sport. I got my first taste of triathlon 3 years ago when I participated in a team adventure race with some friends. We trained all summer long in the sports of biking, hiking, trail running, canoeing, swimming and drinking. A year later I participated in my first short distance triathlon with 2 of my friends. We completed it as a relay, I was the runner. After this I put the idea of triathlon away in the back of my head for a while.



In 2006 I moved to Arlington, Virginia which is quite the inspiring place for anyone into sports. I first took up cycling in early 2007 and started training for the MS 100 ride. That summer I rode all the time with friends. Cycling is such a great sport because you meet so many incredible people with everyone event or race you do. Over the winter of 2007/2008 I started thinking about multi-sports agian.
