Ironman Arizona 2008

Many of you know that I have been debating what kind of events to focus on in 2008. I love training, but need big goals. I guess not unlike work.

Last year, my focus was Ironman Wisconsin. This year shorter distance events with a goal to get faster (and it seems to be working!). Next year was the big question, but no more. I am registered along with 15 or so fellow teammates in Multisport Madness to race Ironman Arizona 2008.

Yes, long distance training through the winter in Chicago is tough, but that's what the team is for (support and company on long indoor rides!). And, we are planning to do several training camps where we can get in the outdoor cycling hours.

I promised my family that if I did another Ironman I would use it to raise money for a cause (or causes) and I have yet to figure out the details on that yet, but stay tuned!
