I may live to regret it, but I signed up for Ironman Florida 2012. I've had a few really good seasons of mostly Olympic- and Half-Ironman distance races. But it's time for the real deal. I'm trying to hit the intersection between my improvements as a triathlete and my rapid gradual decline as a middle-age man. Luckily, I have an extremely supportive wife and cheerleader who gave me the green light to enter the race.
So I decided that it's time to start a "minimalist" blog. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to blog entries, nor is my life all that interesting or colorful. But I do spend a lot of time training, and thinking, and I think Alisha would probably be much happier if I found another channel for my daily 60-90 minute yammering about training and other random things. Even if no one tunes into that channel.
I unfortunately don't have a compelling back story that would make this blog interesting. I'm not a war vet or a disabled person or a Kardashian. I'm not even a particularly gifted athlete. But I hope that this blog serves as a conversation starter and motivator for any other middle-aged below-average overworked weekend warriors.
