Discussion: Steelehead Ironman 70.3
Subject: Steelehead Ironman 70.3 By: Rico R. Written on: 2006-05-03 22:09:22 Message: I finally was able to save up enough money so that my bank account was in the positive side, so I was able to register for the SteeleHead Ironman 70.3 in Michigan Aug. 5. Now it's time to really put the pedal to the medal. With 2 weeks left of my 2nd semester in college and trying to maintain a 3.75 GPA, and two jobs, and making sure my nutritionist/manager/sponsor/girlfriend is happy really takes a toll on me. But never the less training comes 1st. I've worked my way up to swimming 3/4 mil in an hr which for me was the most difficult task in the entire world. The 1st time I went to the pool the lifeguard had to pull me out twice. Needless to say that was the most embarrassing moment being that I'm the Head Personal Trainer everyone was staring I guess amazed that even someone like me couldn't swim to save my own life. But that is no longer the issue. Anyone else doing the Steelehead Ironman, let me know. Thanks
