After years and years of contemplating whether or not or when to do an Ironman triathlon I've signed the papers. On June 27th 2010 at 7 am sharp I will compete in Ironman Coeur d'Alene. This is my chance to prove to myself that I can do anything. It is my opportunity to embark on a personal journey to a place I haven't been. I will learn the commitment level of training 10-20 hours a week. I'm excited to push myself to this unknown level. I'm excited to develop a work ethic that is untouchable. Last year at Ironman Cda there were 18 people in the 18-24 age group for women. Three of those people didn't finish. That leaves a one in fifteen chance of qualifying for Ironman World Championships. With that being said I will be stoked if I even finish Ironman in 17 hours. I will hope to finish in under 14 hours and I will train like I'm going to Ironman World Championships. When I'm riding my bike in the middle of February in the pouring rain I will think to myself...One in fifteen and thats when I will learn to dig deeper.
