I AM AN...IRONMAN
It's a little after the fact, but it's true and won't change. On June 24th, 2007 on the edge of Lake Zurich, with my wife and daughter standing by and a couple close friends, I became an Ironman. 11 hours and 45 minutes after I waded in to lake Zurich, I became an Ironman. 3 years after dropping nearly 30 pounds and completing my first triathlon, I became an Ironman.
So one journey ends and another begins. On an impulse I sent an email to ironman Canada and three days later was awarded an ironman slot as a foreign entry. My two training partners followed suit and now we begin the ironman journey again. This one will, insha' alaa (God willing in Arabic) land us at the finish line of Ironman Canada on August 24th of 2008!
I will post a full race report as well as an update of the Ironman Canada story in a day or two.
Cheers
