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.

Musselman race review

Musselman is always my favorite race of the year. It was my first triathlon ever and it was my first long distance triathlon so it holds a special place in my heart. The course is relatively easy and very scenic. The race is always well organized and there are tons of spectators cheering on race day.  Not to mention they have the best goody bags around.

Ride for Roswell Review

I participated in the Ride for Roswell on June 25th. The ride took place in Buffalo and it benefited The Roswell Cancer Institute, which my Grandmother is currently a patient at. The ride was my first century ride, prior to the ride the most I had rode in one setting was just over 60 miles. I was more excited than I was nervous for the ride because I was looking forward to riding close to the Ironman distance and doing it with a bunch of company on a safe course.
