My ultimate goal race, is of course Arizona Ironman.
In addition I was planning on running the ING Edmonton Marathon, however the long runs seem to be slipping away from me and I want to concentrate on completing the IM training program so it looks like I may do the 1/2 marafun instead. You still get to go through the tent with the waterfall so may be all solid anyways.
For preparation tri's before the big one in Arizona I've already done 1/2 Moon Lake which is of course one of the biggest edmonton area tris. I wanted to do an Olympic one as well, but can't seem to find one that fits so I think the final preparation tri will be the Alberta Challenge which is a 1/2 IM at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. Should be good?
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!

I think you have made the right decision to do the half in Edmonton. You don't want to hurt yourself on the full marathon!
Good decision making skills, Mark, those fish oil pills are making you smarter :)
