Awesome, and welcome to really participating in the site! If you do start a blog, get it added into the list here so that we can all follow along :)
Welcome to trifuel, triad and congrats on getting into IMCdA. I'm envious, Arizona's a great place for training, except for maybe July-August.
The year between sign-up and race day goes by pretty dang fast, but you'll be in the best shape of your life by the end.
Good luck with the training and have some fun out there.

Hi there! Just signed up for my first Ironman today: Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2008. In between now and then, I'll be doing the Timex Oly, and the Soma Half in Tempe Arizona. I'm thinking that I'll start a blog up in order to track my progress and perception over the next year and maybe do the whole before/after picture thing. That would be fun! I look forward to participating in the community here, as I've been lurking for almost a year without doing much.
