I think that this picture captures the craziness that is The Ironman pretty well. I mean a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run...are you kidding me? The Ford Ironman has been held in Coeur d'Alene for the past 8 years and every year we go and watch around 2,000 people try to tackle this beast.
Well, at some point...perhaps in a moment of pure insanity...I decided that I wanted to be an Ironman. So now it's on the list! While I've run two marathons, I'm absolutely terrible (for some reason when I wrote this, terrible came out in my head with a french accent...just fyi) swimmer and a mediocre biker at best. So let the training begin and hopefully someday several years from now (yes, it takes that long to train...) I'll be able to check this off the list.
