But at least I'll be crazy with a bunch of other people.
CDA was the first Ironman that I ever saw. It was the one in the back of my mind as I contemplated whether or not I could do it, but I was worried about the distance and the cost involved in getting there. I hadn't thought about it again until I found out that several of my tri club friends were going to sign up. And then after my ride this weekend, I felt much more confident in my abilities. After getting my hubby and coach's blessing, I'm in.
I have a lot of work to do over the next 6 months to get ready for training!
Holy crap you got in! nice job sarah! let the registration anxiety begin. ironman 2010 here you come!
Thanks John. That's the easy part, right? The goal for the next 6 months is a lot of time on the bike, and dropping about 40 lbs.
OMG! That is so freakin' awesome! I look forward to following you in your training endeavor! And... I am sure I will learn a lot from you! Wahoo!
awesome.....just AWESOME!
OMG SARAH!!!!!!!!!! Gah I just about jumped out of my seat when I saw that pic. Congrats!!! I will be following you and your progress. I know you can do this!
OMG---Great and exciting. can't wait for the journey
How exciting! I found your blog just a while ago and wanted to let you know that I was there this past weekend and signed myself up. I look forward to following your journey :)
You Rock!
I will LIVE vicariously through you these next 6 months (and hopefully lose the 40 right along with you!)... HOW EXCITING! So much so, that I might want to throw up for you... THIS IS BIG! GO GO GO
Congrats on getting in! Great to hear you didn't have to be onsite to sign up. Look forward to following your iron journey.
As I stared at the registrationo screen last night, Dee Dee said, "Go for it". I passed the test! I will pass into the west and my memory will fade. :-) I will not be ready to do another Ironman until the second half of next year. You, on the other hand, continue to make us all so proud. Keep up the great work, Sarah!

Oh my goodness!! I think registering may be the hardest part!!! Actually committing to it and all that it means. We registered for the 70.3 and I have felt sick ever since. I can't wait to see you reach this goal!! You really do rock!!

CDA was my very first IM. Very fond memories of that entire experience, especially training and traveling with a group of friends that did all of the training together. It was fun to go out there and experience everything with each other.

good luck girl!! you will have so much fun. Enjoy this next year of hard work and training. it goes by fast!
