1) I have no idea what I’m in for.

2) I may not be ready for this.

3) I’m not training enough or training right for my event

4) I do not have the right equipment to do this

5) I may die or get eaten by a fish or raccoon.

5) I believe I’m stubborn and dumb enough to push my body and mind through this, so I have a chance

With that in mind,  my training continues and if succeed in this the next step is a Ironman 70.3 in 2010.

Please check out the great story for a man documenting his first Ironman 70.3
