So I'm getting excited for my biggest race to date.  I'll be doing the Ironman Steelhead triathlon over in Benton Harbor on Saturday.  For those of you wondering what that means: PAIN!!!  Well, maybe not pain, but I'm sure I'll be very exhausted.  The race consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run.  It will be my 6th triathlon (though the others were MUCH shorter).  My goal time is between 6 and 6 1/2 hours.  We'll see what the day brings though.

I'm part of a beta test for a new GPS tracking device for races such as this.  Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!

As I've said before, I couldn't even do something inactive for 6 hours straight (except for sleeping), let alone be moving that whole time.

I think it's great that you brought out this side of yourself.  I think you're kind of crazy, but I do admire you and wish you the best of luck!!

Good Luck Sax!!!   It is amazing what good nutrition and good training does for our bodies.   I completed my first triathlon last August, and I just completed a 300 mile bike ride in 3 days this past weekend.   I am doing a sprint triathlon the end of August.   You have to be very proud of your accomplishments.

Island Lake in Brighton.    August 23rd.   It is a sanctioned triathlon, and a great event.
