Firebird Lake Triathlon
Here are some photos from today's Sprint Triathlon at Firebird Lake. The distance of the race was 600m Swim, 12 mile bike, and 5k run. The photos are of me and Peter and my internet training buddy Lisa. I'll add more and give an update soon.

Ironman AZ - 2010
We did it!! Peter and I just signed up for the Ironman Arizona in 2010. The picture above is me standing in line to register. I can't believe it! This is going to be an interesting year. When I get home tonight I will post the photo of the two of us at on-site registration. Wish us luck.

Peter's swim counter
This is the swim lap counter. You where it on your pointer finger like a ring and hit it with your thumb for each lap. I have one to and I agree it is awesome! Peter's swim is awesome right now. He has improved so much since his first lesson this summer. He ROCKS!

How Not to Train
I am feeling incredibly guilty. Since our long bike ride I have not swim, run or bike. Kate is a star! Plan number one - get in the pool tomorrow morning. Plan number two - stop listening to the incredibly persuasive lazy voice in my head. I've gotta get back on that horse and get ready for Nathan's. Only a month to go!

Info About Peter
I thought that I would follow Kate’s good example and also start with some basics.
Name: Peter
Triathlon Training Name: I don’t yet have a triathlon training name. I am certainly open to suggestions though.
Age: 36
Height: I say 5'9”, although there has been some dispute about this. There is a possibility that I may fall into the 5’8” category.
Weight: Just shy of the Clydesdale mark.
Athletic background: In the last 8 or so years I have run a couple half marathons and a number of 10k and 5ks. Last month I completed my first sprint triathlon up in Chino Valley. The Good news on that one is that I did not finish last in age division.
Why the Half Ironman: Kate talked me into it. Actually it sounds like a fun goal. I like the idea of training for multiple sports simultaneously, rather than just training for a marathon. That being said, I am kind of excited about training for a marathon and doing my first marathon as training for the Half-Ironman.
Weakest leg of the triathlon: I am also weak in all three sports and, just like Kate, I am concerned about the swim. I re-started swim lessons in March of this year. That was kind of crazy because I hadn’t really swam since I was a kid. As of today, and based upon my time in the Chino Valley triathlon, my weakest leg is the bike.
Toughest Challenge: Consistently getting out there and exercising. Getting out there 2-3 days is not that bad. It is hard to get out there 4-5 days though.
Biggest Fan: Theresa Rosier (my wife).
What color is your bike helmet: Black.
Did you name your bike: “Strawberry Sizzler” in honor of my wife’s bike when she was a little girl.
What have you enjoyed most so far about training: Seeing myself really progress in my swimming technique and endurance. Very satisfying considering I couldn’t swim 25yds without stopping just 3 months ago.
What have you enjoyed the least about training: I haven’t gotten to that point yet. Probably because I am not training enough.
What is your Half Ironman goal: To finish.
