Terrified

So I did it. I took the first step. I've been thinking about doing an Ironman Triathlon since I finished my first marathon. For anyone who doesn't know, an Ironman is a triathlon that involves a 2.4 mile swim followed by 112 mile bike ride and finishing with a Marathon 26.2 mile run. Just writing that gives me pause.
So today I registered for the event. I'll be competing in the Ford Ironman St George in Utah. This is by far the craziest thing I've ever gotten involved in. I'm starting this blog to chronicle my journey. I realize that there are about 1264 things I need to do between now and May 1, 2010 and I'm on step one. I invite you to share in the journey.
