I am ironman. (think Black Sabbath)

Hi Siblings!

The biggest challenge of my athletic life, a full distance Ironman triathlon, is coming up quickly. Set in Ceour d'Alene on June 27, Molly and I had volunteered for the past few years before I decided "if they can do it, I can, too!" Follow my other blog http://runningrebeccamt.blogspot.com/

Here is the run down of what I am training for:

Swim: 2.4 miles (predicted time 1 hr, 45 min)
Bike: 112 miles (predicted time 8 hours)
Run: 26.2 miles (predicted time 6 hours)

Yes, all at once - all in one day. You are right! It is crazy!

It takes a village and thankfully, Mike is fully on board. He has been doing most of the housework and generally being a good guy about me being gone so much. I am off running, biking or swimming while he vacuums. The rest of my "village" are other team mates from the local bike and running clubs. There are many opportunities for me to meet with others.

Happy spring!
