Welcome and Thank You

I have created this blog page for all my donors. I will update this site with pictures, training logs, and anything else that is triathlon fun. This is my way of saying "Thank You" All of you who donated your hard earned money (well at least most of you work hard) are an inspiration to me. It has been an amazing adventure thus far and I'm only 6 weeks in. The overwhelming support from my family, friends, work aquaintances, and friends of friends have put me over my fundraising goal in record time. We completed my fundraising faster than anyone else on the team.
The event is the SOMA Triathlon on October 28, 2007 in Tempe Arizona. It is the biggest Triathlon in Arizona, it attracts the top professionals along with the recreational guys like me, there are more than 2000 participants.
The TNT coaches and mentors have been very good to work with, and the few cancer patients I have met, have been very gracious and grateful.
I am very excited to share this experience with all of you, and I can't wait to get into the heavy training. As most of you know, I started with some minor training on my own May 8, 2007. I weighed 238 lbs. and could not run more than 30 seconds witout stopping to walk. I Started my 16 week program this week (6-25) and currently weigh 228lbs.
My friend Mike and I are going to compete in the "Firecracker Sprint Triathlon" on July 1st, in Tucson, Arizona. My goal is to finish the event, but secretly I am hoping to finish in under 2 hours. The event distances are Swim-750 yards (pool), Bike 13 miles, and run 3.2 miles
Check back for the results
Aloha,
