Ironman Beginnings

This blog is meant to be my journal from registration to completion (a man has to be confident, right?) of Ironman Texas 2013.   It will include my thoughts as I train and race, my successes, my failures, things I learn about the process, things I learn about myself, race reviews, etc.  Really, right now I'm not sure what I'll write (or if I'll have time to write it!)...will it be funny (or should I say "dry" since it's coming from me)?...will it be serious?...we'll see as we go.  This blog will primarily be for me to be able to look back on this experience months and years from now since I'm committing so much to it, but anyone's welcome to come along for the ride (figuratively OR literally :-)) over the next 10 months (holy cow, that's a long time from now).

Let's conclude with the details of the race:
