I have 10 more t-shirts in my closet because of all these races. I'm going to give the cotton ones away and selfishly keep the dri-fit shirts.

2010 is going to be a big year for me. My first half Ironman triathlon will be in June and I'm really going to push my limits in 2010.

Can't wait!

Enjoy the ride,
Damm

  1. Josh! I miss running long distances. Go you with all this built-up mileage.

    Have you done any marathons? Interested? I did Des Moines a few years ago, and am thinking about trying it again this next October. What do you think? It seems like you really enjoyed the half.

    Why should I do a triathlon? Make it convincing. I want to try. :)

    Keep running and writing, my friend.

  2. I did a marathon in 2005 but not since. I will probably do another one in 2010.

    You should do a triathlon for these reasons:
    - Easier on your joints than just running.
    - Biking fast is really exciting and you see so much of the countryside.
    - Biking is a great group activity.
    - Swimming at the YMCA is a wonderful way to stay sane during a long Iowa winter.
    - The atmosphere at triathlons is electric and I've met lots of really cool, energetic people!
