He's Gone and Done It...

Who is "HE" and what is "IT," you might ask. "HE" would be my crazy husband and "IT" would be signing up for Ironman Kentucky. Yes...you heard me correctly. He plans to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles on August 26, 2007 in Louisville, KY. This is an inaugural Ironman event, whatever that will mean. We're very excited about the weekend and the whole experience. Tedd said he wanted to complete an Ironman by the time he was 40, which just happens to occur about 2 weeks after the race! He looked at Ironman Florida, which is the first weekend in November, but the summer timing suited him much better. Mainly because he's ready to go into his cave once Daylight Savings Time ends in October. He's one of those crazy people who loves the heat and humidity of a southern summer.



Louisville looks like a pretty cool place. Neither of us have ever been there so I've been doing a litte internet research on things to do...and I don't think we'll be bored! There is an incredible waterfront park, the Louisville Zoo, the "horsey stuff," Six Flags and plenty of other activities. We are planning to be there from Thursday to Tuesday, so it should be a fun vacation for most of us. I can't imagine a 140.6 mile day as a vacation, but I'm not the crazy one competing in this event! The invitation is open for anyone who would like to join us in Louisville for this monumental day in Tedd's life! Let us know if you'd like to come and we'll let you know where we're staying, etc.

Wish me luck for the next 9 months as I become an "Iron-widow" as the spouses are typically called. He'll be putting in lots of training hours especially once spring rolls around!
