Today has marked the start of a long time ambition.
I have entered Ironman Frankfurt on 8th July 2012.
For those that aren't sure what it is . . . some say it is the ultimate act of madness, others say it is the ultimate athletic challenge but I just think it looks like a lot of hard work and great fun along the way.
Swim 2.4 Miles - Cycle 112 Miles - Run 26.2 Miles - Total distance 140.6 miles in a cut off time of 15 hours. Gulp!
A couple of friends are going to be doing it too, so we get to share the agony and hopefully the ecstasy.
I did a practice swim tonight at Glenarm ahead of the Triathlon tomorrow. Pretty choppy water, and it has given me a real sense of what lies ahead. So, the journey begins!
