I'll be using this blog to document my journey to Ironman Wisconsin which will take place 9/11/11. I'll address nutrition, training, and general issues from my perspective as a beginner triathlete. I will also use this site to document the trials and tribulations I will face in these next nine months as I prepare to become an Ironman.

Women's Clinic Overview (i.e. men probably want to skip this one)

Women are no longer the minority in this sport but there still tends to be a lot more information/research/equipment that favors the men. This past Wednesday was the re-scheduled women’s issues in triathlon clinic. The panel of speakers consisted of five women. I spoke on the panel along with two other triathletes, one sport dietitian/triathlete, and one physical therapist. I went to this same clinic last year and between the two years of attending it I’ve learned a lot about issues that only pertain to females.
