2008 Coeur d'Alene Ford Ironman Triathlon
Well, I’m $475 dollars poorer than I was a week ago, but I’m officiall signed up for the 2008 CDA Ironman. That leaves exactly 355 days to train or 8503 hours or 510,194 minutes…. not that anyone’s counting. Here’s what you get for half a grand (your name on a list). The race sold out in a week, all 2300 slots. Crazy. How is it that so many people want to hurt themselves so badly.
This whole thing started with Nate, Jared and I signed up for a sprint triathlon. Here is our photo taken on July 24, 2006.
After taking this photo we swam 2 laps and just about collapsed in exhaustion. I would love to have the video of that exercise! I remember not being able to run 2 miles and being destroyed for a week after riding my bike a mere 45 minutes.
I have a long way to go still, but the progress it encouraging. Thank you Lord for keeping my body healthy and giving me the ridiculous luxury of working out.
