We're planning an exciting year! Somehow, a marathon (or six) just didn't seem challenging enough for 2012, so we're both currently training to complete an Ironman in 2012.
Nikki is registered for Ironman Coeur D'Alene on June 24th 2012 (and is doing it with her step-Dad Bruce) in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho: http://ironman.com/events/ironman/coeurdalene#axzz1ldZgeuBs and Michael is registered for Ironman Wisconsin on September 9th, 2012 in Madison, Wisconsin: http://ironman.com/events/ironman/wisconsin/?show=results#axzz1Xkn4gf1u (A special appearance is being made by Renee and Sipke as swimming course safety boats at IM Coeur D'Alene!)
The training so far (9-ish weeks in ) is hard, and time consuming, but very rewarding. We've been training with Tri-Team Z here in DC: www.triteamz.com The team is great (the Coach is a bit grumpy all. the. time. but we'll get over it) and it's a lot of fun to have friends working towards the same goals.
So, if you're near Madison, or near CDA (that's you, Whidbey folks!) save the date and come join us, we'll be in town for each race for 5-6 days total:
IM Coeur D'Alene: Sunday June24th, 2012
IM Wisconsin: Sunday, September 9th, 2012
