More than likely, I'll only do the 1/2 Ironman, which actually is almost a double olympic Triathlon.

Any suggestions?

Anyone else interested? LOL

Hey MOW,


I might be interested in doing it. I've been trying to plan a run or cycle with World Vision's schedule. They havent much of anything scheduled in the way of cycling events tho. A good friend of mine from church likes to run and bike as well, so we're still looking to try to get in on World Vision events. The 1/2 iron man sounds like a reasonable goal, but the greatest trouble I have is the phobia of a 1.2 mile swim. I swim VERY little..... a buddy of mine drowned in highschool trying to swim from a pontoon boat to the shore. Leg cramps is my biggest fear......hate 'm. I will, however, look further into it.

Regardless, YOU NEED TO GO FOR IT BROTHER!
