I have decided to try and complete an Ironman. Wisconsin, being my home state, is the only one I have the desire to do. This is my journey for the next 53 weeks before Ironman Wisconsin, 2008.

Encouraging Words from Coach
- After General Smallwood Tri - "Think how you would have felt if we had tapered for this, or at least not having had that long ride the day before! This is a TOUGH way to end a week! You did fine." E-mail 6/29/08
- After my Columbia Triathlon - "Nice job today! I am impressed!" - E-mail (and vmail) 5/18/08
- Comments after my rest week - "It doesn't matter how much you do. You will never feel like your doing enough." - E-mail 12/31/07
- "This was by far your best week! Really impressive and lots of good things." - E-mail 12/24/07
- When I told Coach there was no gym in my San Fran hotel and couldn't workout for about a week and a half "It is what it is. Its a situation you have no control over, so don't beat yourself up over it" - E-mail 11/5/07
