Man Of Steel

I'll be leaving for Ironman soon. I'll manage to blog for another day or two, then I probably won't be near a computer until I get back.

I was leaning toward making this my last Ironman race - I am 51 years old. But, I've enjoyed the training so much this year that I've reconsidered. Another thing that has tipped the scales in favor of at least one more is Ironman Arizona.

Arizona is my home state. Although the time of year is not good for me. It's hard for a northwestern triathlete to be in Ironman shape by April. It's just too difficult to get the mileage in with the cold, the snow and the short winter days. But, I'll reasonably confident that I'll do it, probably in 2006.
