Lord, What Have I Got Myself Into?

After talking myself into signing up, and then chickening out, and finally closing my eyes and squeamishly clicking Submit, I am now officially signed up for Ironman Mont Tremblant, my first full Ironman race. If I suddenly disappear from the real world, it's probably because my wife has had me committed.

Reading someone else's blog today, a note of regret caught my attention. The writer was sorry that he hadn't taken the time to keep a record of his first Ironman travails. No one would accuse me of being sentimental, but I suppose you never know, and it's true the first time only happens once. Thus this blog. As long as it still seems like a good idea, I'll keep writing. Thanks for reading.

P.S. Someone noted that it's difficult to see how to comment on posts. I agree, but it looks like a problem with the blogger template, and I can't see an easy way to fix it. (I'll keep looking, though.) In the meantime, just click on the title to see the full post with comment area.
