Meeting

Last night my coaches hosted their first in a series of monthly lectures about Ironman. It was about what you can expect over the next 5 months. To start Bill asked everyone to introduce themselves and talk a little bit about their triathlon experience. So it goes around the room and everybody had done a ton of sprint and Olympic level distances and several Ironman distances. Some people were doing their first Ironman but they'd done many long distance events. One woman has done 100 mile and 24 hour runs.

Then it was my turn. I said, "Hi my name's Marc. I've never done a triathlon and I've signed up for Ironman."

Every head in the place turned. "Are you nuts?" Was heard from several people in the crowd.
