As you may know, the Ironman doesn't get it's name lightly. It's a 2.4 swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a marathon run of 26.2 miles for good measure. Some of you have biked a century or more and know how that feels. I've run a marathon and could barely get my legs up the last hill. And the swim? Can't fathom it!
We have three locals getting ready for Ironman Wisconsin...Ellen, Amy and Bob. Ellen is the veteran having done one already. Some of you know them, and I'm hoping we all can offer some encouragement in the next few weeks leading up to the race.
They have all been very low-key about this undertaking. They have logged many miles solo. When I go for a lonesome run or ride it makes me appreciate two things: 1) 2-Wheel'd Freakz!!! 2) The dedication of these three.
Good luck in September El, Amy and Bob!

Best of Luck to You All. I cannot fathom what it would feel like to be a pile of mush after a swim like that, and a big rubber ball after a ride like that, and then to have to run a "Marathon". Never! I give you all the encouragement to do the best that you can. Hopefully you all will achieve the results that you are looking for. Good Luck!
