What

The intention this mini site is to log my journey to become an Ironman in 2011 with a few milestones before that.

Why

That needs a double answer, the first is about me and why would a (not so sane) person decide to race in such a gruelsome activity as a triathlon and a beast of one. Well I was a sports kid who spent a lot of time in the gym until college so a part of me still wants all that physical activity back and another wants a big challenge.

The other answers is about this site, I want to be accountable for my progress and/or lack of it and it seems that it is really usefull to have a public place where someone else can scream at you when training sessions are skipped or when some type of errors can be inferred from the workouts. Besides I'd like to leave a real log of my meager attempt at the BIG tri that is the Ironman

How

Well the how is still a mistery at this time but somewhere in the future this section will start to make some sense. I'm not completely out of shape as I already finished Chicago Marathon on 2008 with not so good looking times, I'll repeat that same marathon this coming october and so far my race times look good. Will update this as more info is available.

Who

Well I'm a guy from Mexico who likes sports but has kept out of activity as life and work seem to drain all the energy I had before. So after 2008 my priorities changed and now my Day Job function is only to support my sporting activities. I think that if work starts to rob me of my train time is the moment to say goodbye to this old Job; hopefully that will not be necesary
