I have to say I am pretty excited about the possibility. More than the event itself, I enjoy the challenge of just being prepared for the event. 1/2 IMs (Iron Man) have become a relatively comfortable distance and when I am not really even in race shape I can get through this distance...but IMs on the other hand...this is a distance that you just don't "get through." For this distance you have to be prepared...be ready. Honestly, it is even hard for me to wrap my mind around that distance right now. I remember previous IM training days and after the event, would look back and say, "how'd I do that?" The distance can seem insurmountable, and the challenge will be even greater with a 3yr old + a little on the way (Feb 2010), with the race in Sept 2010...but hey, this is what multi sport athletes enjoy...so I hope those who read this enjoy the "journey to IM." Oh...the pic here is one of me at my very first tri back in the late 90s...much different looking today as you will see in future pics!
