  • Comments: This was it. One of the greatest days of my life. It's amazing when over a thousand hours of training comes together to allow an old goat to rumble 140.3 miles with a smile and tears of joy. This thing really is less of an athletic endeavor and more of a spiritual awakening. I was reborn today, and now I am alive!

  • Comments: Ironman Hawaii Race Report October 13, 2007 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii It’s all about the Journey The journey to the Ford Ironman World Championship was a wonderful ride for me. As most of you know, my wife and I made a trip over to the Big Island three years ago. I had watched the Ironman on TV and had been inspired by the myriad of stories and images of epic human battles, and thought it would be cool to see it “up close and personal” Up to this point, I had not done a triathlon, I was not a swimmer, nor did I have a bike. I was an experienced marathon runner, thus my interest in endurance events. We volunteered that “fateful” day in October 2004, and after witnessing the event, I was “taken up” by its majesty, difficulty, and beauty. I also said to myself, there is no way I could “ever, ever, ever” complete those distances, and of course, I would forever be a spectator for the World Championship. The distances of an Ironman seemed mind boggling to me at that time.
