Back At It

Early morning's, unlimited food, and countless hours of sweating, smelling, and repeating. If you're thinking about an early rendezvous with your significant other, I'm sorry to say; you're wrong. Instead of burning calories rough housing with your women, it's training for Ironman Lake Placid and I'm back at it harder than ever. The daunting thought of swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112, and running a full marathon rings through my head daily if not hourly. Sure some people don't support the idea, but the people that mean the most to me, back me 100% and to have that support is unbelievable. There is also a new support crew out there with Catherine Horan. Everyone I have talked to they state having a girlfriend (or wife) and training for an Ironman can be one of the toughest things someone can do. Yet I am bound to make it work, and she lets me train whenever I want and does support me, well at least I think so. Hey, she hasn't dumped me yet so I must be doing something right.
Recently my (entire) family just rented out a seven bedroom, three floor mansion in Lake Placid and will be there for Ironman weekend routing and cheering me on for the entire "race". There has also been talk about my friends coming to support me that weekend which will probably make me the athlete whose cheering section is the loudest and biggest. Out of all of the chaos I think not wasting my energy picking on Mike will be the hardest. Though he may enjoy the time off, he is completely mistaking if he thinks he's going to get away scotch free that weekend. I always have energy to rattle the cage with you boy. So building up to the race, I know that there are people back home routing for me day in and day out. To me, this is all the motivation I need to get up and swim bike run everyday.

Since the beginning of 2010 a lot of things have been happening to lead up to where we are today. Landing a few sponsorships for the 2010 Triathlon season, I have something more to race for other than myself. Something is telling me this is where I should insert a plug for my sponsors. Tri Spot, triathlete or not, go there it will blow your mind. This store is like no other in the Northeast and the employee's there and top notch. They will help you with any questions you may contain and point you into the right direction. Now that I have committed to the team, it's easy to say I am probably the least experienced and "weakest" on the male side of things. The males on this team are all Ironman vets and have shown to be the best at every race they have entered. Needless to say I have a lot of work to do. I better stop drinking beer on the weekends...that may be tough. How else am I suppose to see Gwii without his shirt on, or break Sean's limited edition Coke glass? For all of those ladies that do care, Gwii does in fact have a full head of hair...on his chest. (Dont kill me Gwiisome chicks dig the chest hair).

Onward march to Brockport and it's doings. Typical sights and sounds here at the port. I'm pretty sure we are the only school the celebrates national squrriel day. That's our claim to fame, having massive amounts of squrriels roaming our campus, oh and having the highest STD rate. There is faulty data though from other schools so it is not a distiguished difference between schools. Other than that it's the same old school with the same old weekend parties in which the cops will bust in the matter of minutes. So on that note, stay well, be safe and enjoy yourself.
