As I start this blog, I am in the 3rd week out of 12 training for my first Ironman. Last year the Ironman 70.3 in Lubbock was the first long distance tri, but this is a much bigger challenge. In anticipation of this upcoming event, I ran the El Paso Marathon in March (4:38), and I have put in a lot of swimming time improving my technique. Lastly, I purchased a tri bike (Quintana Roo Lucero), and for my birthday got a new aero helmet from Blanca.
Finding time to train has been and will continue to be a challenge, but I feel that with a lot of help from my support team it can be done.
I will periodically update this blog with training anecdotes and things I find out along the way. My ultimate goal is to have a race report if and when I complete the Ironman on June 27th.
