I am new to this sport. I did my first Sprint a couple weeks ago and I fell in love with the sport..... I recently came across a race in Northern Ohio Ironman Distance that is hard to pass up..... I am in the process now of deciding whether or not it is feasible..... I feel that I have the burn and the desire to complete this race. I have no intentions of winning I want to finish to say that I have done it and that I can do it.....

I have a background in swimming and a long background in bicycling..... Started out Mountain biking with friends took some time off got fat 8 months ago I decided it was time to take my life back. So I began training for my first tri.... 60lbs later I am in the best shape of my life and I am ready for my next hurdle.... People think I am crazy but I just think.... well I am crazy, but that is what gets me going everyday. What next adventure I will have that day....

That is why I love this sport. It is an adventure, and it is a challenge that seems impossible... And I want to overcome that impossible....
