Hello all, I am a 42 year old woman who has followed the Ironman since it's inception in the 70's. I can still remember watching Dave Scott win... All I could think of was I wanted that.. I want to do that. Well life got in the way, and my body went the wrong "weigh" and now I am over 180lbs, with High BP but still try to stay active.

I have decided and am committed to doing the First Ironman in Oklahoma next year. My training starts tomorrow with some swimming and eliptical running.

I would appreciate any tips, and any support. I am so glad I found this site and will be joining soon..

Peace all..

Sarah

364 days and a wake up..

hi Sarah, your post reminded me of myself. I gather from your post that you've not done any triathlon before? Well, I havn't and I've signed up for Ironman CDA next June. Its 272 days for me.

There's alot of great people on this forums and many of them are really experienced and helpful. I'm sure you'll find lots of motivation from them, just like what I got from them.

Meanwhile, Best of luck with all the training. Its going to be a tough year ahead, but I'm sure with a sound attitude and smart training, you'll cross the finish line with a smile =)
