I bought a road bike about one year ago. I hadn't been on a bike in years. I was quickly hooked. A friend I made through cycling told me about a race he was doing. He described what was an Ironman, I was left amazed, thought for a minute and told him that I wanted in.

Hey everyone, I'm registered and training for Vineman, my A race, and a friend is trying to talk me into doing another half, High Cliff, a month before the race. It's a fairly local race with a lot of hills and a trail run. This is my second season in this sport and did a half last year, Spirit of Racine, but am not sure about doing two back to back.

It felt great to back racing an Ironman 70.3 event again. Vineman is one of my favorite races because of the people and the terrain. The course is a good course for me. Challenging and technical.
