As you can see, I'll have some great friends to accompany me. Mike and Adam are Ironman Vet's, Kelly and Erik I worked with in CT, and Dan and Ryan are my boys from RPI, and everyone has been a huge supporter of me over the past 1.5 years. It's no joke to say that these people are a big reason I'm still around to register for this.
It's definetely been a dream of mine since I did my first sprint triathlon back in the summer of '02, on a road bike we found in a pile of leaves when I was 15 years old (a leftover from the previous renters in a house we moved into). After going through hell the past year I think it will be a great goal, and I'm excited to spend the fall resting, and recovering, then begin "training" in January. My hope is to have a balanced training plan that tempers rest with some enjoyable long rides, runs, and swims.
I like to post this movie, because it does a good job of answering the question everyone asks, "Why?":

People who have to ask "why" will never understand.
It's simply because YOU CAN.
I am jealous of Erik's occupation!
Dude, seriously - you have a lot to be proud of - and you haven't even toed the start line yet. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I read your story on ironman.com some day. Way to be!
Looking forward to the CA "training camp weekends" and 7/20/08.

I love how he replies "yes sir" to a woman! Classic unintentional humor.
