This is our blog! We are training for Ironman Arizona November 2008. We have 20 weeks until the big day! Mike ( count chocula ) just completed ironman Coeur D'alene and he is ready to ROCK. Offically training starts Monday July 7th!

Here are the players: Diane: CDA ironman finisher. SINGLE ( looking for love ). Despite her absolute hatred of swimming, she is an adequate swimmer and strong biker. Enjoys diet pepsi and walks with winter ( her rescue dog ). Relies on her swimp3 to get her through her swim workouts. Owns her own computrainer ( ohhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh)

Beijing Bound ( Kathleen ) : CDA ironman finisher. Married to count chocula. HATES swimming. Good at the run. Poor swimmer and moderate biker. Relies on ju jubes and licorice to fuel her races. Loves Tony Horton and p90x!

Count Chocula ( Mike ): Just finished CDA ironman in 16 hours and 5 minutes. Was a complete couch potato until Beijing Bound did CDA 2007, that is when he got sucked into the ironman vortex. Mike signed up for CDA with no previous training, couldn't swim, never run a marathon! His training diet includes Mrs Fields cookies, coke zero and LOTS of cereal!

Mark: Was drunk when signed up for ironman after being dared by Kathleen. Never done a triathlon of any length until last week when he did Half Moon Lake and didn't come last. Mark refuses to wear speedos and trends towards board shorts in swim class. Mark is a moderate in all three sports and loves accelerade and clif blocks ( margarita)

This is team KDM2, and we will be IRONMEN!

Is Mark Doing His Training in the Week of July 7-14???

First week of training went pretty well, I did miss the bike ride on Friday when my plan to wake up at 5:00 AM didn't even get close to started. Maybe for the best anyways, next time I think I'll just plan to bike to work. Had a wedding on Saturday and still pulled off the 1:10 run on Sunday, which was pretty solid. I went on a bit of a trail run up wedgewood ravine so that was very pretty solid.
