An Ironman is a 2.4 mile swim followed by 112 mile bike followed by a 26.2 mile run. Always. I started this blog to publish my race reports, but now it includes workout recaps, training updates and much more! I welcome your thoughts and comments and if you haven't yet ventured into the sport of triathlon, what are you waiting for??

I would just buy the jacket and screw running it
MJ,
Congrats on qualifying for Boston. I know that there are a couple of others from swim class who will partake. That's truly remarkable. I only ran Chicago last year, and it recked me for a month - so I took up swimming! I can't imagine being fast enough to qualify. I was just happy to finish!
This year I want to do my first tri.
Keep up the blogs. I love reading about how the competitive half lives!
A.J. (the guy in the slow lane)
