Ten months ago I signed up both Mike and myself for Ironman Louisville (aka IMKY). Starting soon after I began my training with Mike’s guidance – getting in more, and more quality, training than ever before. A week ago it was time, and we travelled out to Kentucky for the big day. Vineman 70.3 had…

Wow. Where to start… This race report is going to be long. And tough. Kinda like the day. There was the good, the bad, and the ugly. Guess I’ll just keep it how the day played out, but we’ll start a bit before Sunday. Since this was a ‘B’ race (secondary focus for the year)…

PossAbilities Triathlon was this weekend. I felt strong going in, and the day played out well. Just a short report on this one as I’ve been working on my blogging motivation lately (don’t worry, tri motivation is there and strong).

The Vineman pics Lisa took for me are now posted! Check them out! And here is one of my favorites, as the thing I remember most about each Ironman I’ve done is the support, cheers, and love of the family and friends who took that day’s journey with me: Mom, Ryan (big bro), Ethan (nephew),…

For those of you that read your friends page from top to bottom (and thus backwards in time order) I did post each section of my race separately… here they all are: pre-Vineman start, swim, T1 bike & T2 run & finish (aka because an Ironman isn’t hard enough) Times summary: Swim (2.4 miles): 1:24:25.9…

It felt good to be running… really good. I was comfortable, heart rate was doing well, and I was moving fluid. I passed a number of people, just keeping a smooth and easy pace averaging about 10:30 min/mile. There were 3 loops, and at the finish of the first I was feeling like I was…
