Nothing Like a Passion and Goal to Keep You Feeling Young and Living Life

Well it has been some time since my last fun blog post and that makes it a great time to start once again.

Still today one of my greatest joys in life is physically pushing myself as far as I possibly can. Last year I ran a few shorter triathlons and a couple of half Ironman distance races early in the season and then shifted my focus to train for and complete my first 100-mile trail race at Rocky Raccoon in February of this year.  Rocky Raccoon my first 100-mile running race was truly a life altering experience. Life altering so much that I intend on running it again in Feb 2018 increasing my goal of completing the race to completing the race in under 24 hours. Nevertheless, with the intent on completing Rocky Raccoon again next February my focus for the next 24 to 48 months will be on gaining the endurance and speed necessary to qualify for The World Ironman Triathlon Championships in Kona Hawaii as an age group competitor before I turn 52 in March 2020.  

I have completed 1 full Ironman and several half Ironman races to date. Typically finishing in the top 50% of finishers however never finishing close to what would be required to qualify for the World Championships in Kona Hawaii. For me this will be an exciting epic journey and challenge as I enjoy training and racing with new and old friends, achieving small goals along the way, and growing as a Dad, as a friend and as a Best Friend.  

Write again soon as I update my adventures, achievements, setbacks and experiences.
