Life As It Comes
Vineman 70.35 Comments
Over the weekend, I signed up for Vineman Ironman 70.3. The race is July 19, 2009. As of now, this will be my first half-ironman distance triathlon. It’s possible that I might add in another one before then, but we’ll see.
Triathlon started out as a one-time goal for me, but it’s quickly becoming a full-time hobby. I’m looking forward to testing myself to see what I can do at this distance. Sprints got to be pretty easy by the end of the summer. The Olympic distance wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t quite where I hoped to be. Half-Iron should be a good test of what I’m capable of accomplishing.
Goals between now and then:
- Fix my running stance/posture
- Continue cutting time from my race-pace mile
- Obtain and get used to aero-bars

I won’t be satisfied until I see you on American Gladiators

Oh man! I’d LOVE to be on American Gladiators. I’ll need to work on my smack-talk though.

california is kinda far but if gas prices remain, maybe someone else is up for a road trip. plus, i could justify it with in-n-out.
