Finishing Ford Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, 2010

Finished the Auburn Triathlon (Half Iron distance).

I am now committed to Kona and doing the Full Ironman in October in Hawaii. This will be an awesome experience, I can see with my increased focus in training that I will only get faster. Lifting weights with my legs is improving my power through the full circle of rotation and my joining new faster running groups is showing results.

This week I have been stepping up with swim session each day.
