what does all this mean...I am IM...I could not resist the play...

on 16 October 2004 I went to NC to test what I was made of...the test started off at 7am and did not end until 9pm...the results...I'm made of Iron...

if you have no clue what I'm talking about then just ask...

I finished 100th of the 140 males that finished the race...yea I may be slow, but I got my metal...

I had a panic attack on the swim and thought my race was over in about 10min, but I stuck with it and got though the attack...the bike was long and a little windy, but nothing too bad...I had to stop eating gels at mile 50 and to liquid diet only b/c my tummy was not feeling well...the run for the most part was not that bad...at about the 7mile point I started walking the uphills and this helped me out a lot...at about the 13mile point I started drinking coke instead of Gatorade and this helped out a lot...when I finished the race I felt tired and somewhat dizzy, but not really all that bad...the next day I felt fine and today I just have a few sore spots here and there...all in all a great experience...

just remember: you can't make a day(one day) so hard that I can't get through it...


I'll most likely let this journal entry ride for a few days to a week....
