Countdown to the Redman

It's down to 18 days until the Redman Triathlon.  I'm really looking forward to competing and putting all my training to the test.  This has been an awesome experience so far.  I have raised over half the amount that I wanted to raise.  Every dollar raised helps get one step closer to finding a cure for blood cancers.

I have been working out pretty regularly over the last few years but nothing like I have the last 20 weeks.  There is no doubt that I'm in the best shape of my life.  No way could I have ran 13 miles when I was a teenager.  Certainly not swim a mile.  I feel great, have lost a few pounds and lost several inches around my stomach.  Not quite a six pack yet, but definitely not a keg anymore.

My son Tyler inspired me to do this.  He overcame Leukemia at the age of 3 and is now a freshman in high school.  September 21 will be a long day, but I know I can cross the finish line in honor of Tyler.
