Almost Final Update: Good news and bad news....
First the bad news.... well, at least for me. I would definitely have to consider this a failed attempt at blogging. Going into this, I knew I was a procrastinator (if not the king of all procrastinators), but I honestly thought that I would make time for blogging since the Iron Man experience was something I really wanted to remember every step of the day and blogging was the perfect way to record this experience. Oh well, I would say maybe better luck next time, but there is only one first Iron Man... which leads me to the good news... I completed my first (and I promised myself only) Iron Man on July 23 in 15:46:51. Not exactly a Kona qualifying time, but then again my only goal was to finish and that I did. I hope to post one last update with a quick summary of the few leading up to the race as well as the race day itself.
