I have done one half and the desire to do a full is strong ... however ... I find it hard enough to find the time to train for a half and justifying the cost (money and time) to my family is hard! :(<BR/><BR/>My wife 'tolerates' my obsession with the half but doesn't really support my full ironman ambition. I have said that I am going to do one for my 50th birthday ... so 9 years to train ... that should just be enough! :)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the blog .... really good read :)<BR/><BR/>MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202818045317914280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-3577781109317678992007-06-20T23:17:00.000-07:002007-06-20T23:17:00.000-07:00oh yes, the need and want to an Ironman, first sne...oh yes, the need and want to an Ironman, first sneaks into a little corner of the mind. Then it slowly and sneakily starts to branch out and take control of parts of the brain. It then convinces you to do a longer race, like a 70.3. Then it destroys the joy you think you should have at completing a race, but saying, but that wasn't a full Ironman. So you try to deny it, but that never works, it just feeds on your denial until the comes along that you give and say: I want to do an Ironman!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the journey. It is worth the experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207688315592572391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-88131592984043561552007-06-20T09:24:00.000-07:002007-06-20T09:24:00.000-07:00Follow your dream and you will do it.Follow your dream and you will do it.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-2542779824952304102007-06-19T13:37:00.000-07:002007-06-19T13:37:00.000-07:00I understand IM Arizona is still open...I understand IM Arizona is still open...Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225848818369606695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-82764378359323580652007-06-18T15:22:00.000-07:002007-06-18T15:22:00.000-07:00What a great post - summing up all the emotion tha...What a great post - summing up all the emotion that goes into making the major decision of doing an Ironman. G gave me the best advice when making the decision - "only you will know when the time is right." <BR/><BR/>And whether that time is next year or a few more out - you'll make your dream happen.TriGirl 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/03561789997010858947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-86256718403335830602007-06-18T13:29:00.000-07:002007-06-18T13:29:00.000-07:00i said the exact same things - after my first iron...i said the exact same things - after my first ironman. in that order. i just want to sit down and i'm never doing that again.<BR/><BR/>ironman cda is sunday. :-)<BR/><BR/>i say go for it.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314577864236887929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-22909672431116710492007-06-18T12:32:00.000-07:002007-06-18T12:32:00.000-07:00Welcome to my hell.Join me.Louisville.You and me b...Welcome to my hell.<BR/><BR/>Join me.<BR/><BR/>Louisville.<BR/><BR/>You and me babe.<BR/><BR/>13:10:54Annnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379591791964217760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-5322382617585287162007-06-18T08:17:00.000-07:002007-06-18T08:17:00.000-07:00J-I have great faith that you can do it - when the...J-<BR/>I have great faith that you can do it - when the time and place suit you and your family. My brother (who is 41) wants to do one when he is 50 (when his children are older - they are close to the ages of your two). For you, maybe it will be next year - or maybe 5 years - or 10. The bottom line is that it's your dream. Hang on to it - you can do it. <BR/>I also think it's very normal to feel down after such a large accomplishment. I had a weird unsettled feeling all last week. I think I missed the workouts - and my training partners (of course).<BR/><BR/>SQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-51311017051964096742007-06-18T07:06:00.000-07:002007-06-18T07:06:00.000-07:00i have faith in you. i say go for it!i have faith in you. i say go for it!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720421614665005434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676690.post-45735866829651293032007-06-18T06:29:00.000-07:002007-06-18T06:29:00.000-07:00i will sell youmy imfl registrationforone dollari will sell you<BR/>my imfl registration<BR/>for<BR/>one dollarcarmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717951238155199369noreply@blogger.com
