I'm not sure if she knows that I'm getting into, but my wife gave me permission to sign up for IM Cozumel.  Not that I needed motivation before, but right now I have more motivation to train than ever.  
 
447 days until the race.  Time will tell how long my motivation will last.  It's a course that I'm really motivated to do since I love the Carribean.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'd love doing any IM in the states, but how does a swim in some lake or river compare with the waters off Cozumel.
