Your Host's Ironman Journey

As your host, I feel compelled to practice what I preach. Together with my coach, we tell the story of the nearly half-year journey to my first Ironman triathlon - actually, to my first triathlon of any kind. This is part 1 of a 2-part series, with this episode focused on the joys and travails of training leading up to race day, both from my perspective and my coach's. The experience wasn’t exactly what I expected. The second part - coming soon - will be a post-race debrief, assuming I get to the starting line!!
