Ironman Hawaii

Posted by on April 15, 2010 in Training

Well, I just checked the Ironman.com website to see if I got into the Ironman World Championships held in Kona, Hawaii and the news is… (drumroll)…  that I didn’t get in.  I had a feeling that I actually would get in this year, but it’s okay that I didn’t.  What that means is that I’m […]
