The first post, getting the new blog up and running. Chronicling our journey to IronMan Lake Placid 2007.

There is something exciting about fresh starts and trying new things. In this case, it is a new blog, and a new sport – triathlon.

My wife and I have done three triathlons to date. The first two were “try-a-tri” distances (The Canadian, Sept 2005, Ottawa, Cornwall Transit, August 2006, Cornwall) and the third was a sprint distance (The Canadian, Sept 2006, Ottawa). We consider ourselves novices but are taking it pretty seriously – we’ve committed to completing IronMan Lake Placid on July 22, 2007.

This new blog will chronicle that journey: our training and workouts and our thinking over the next 8 months working towards our goals.
