About Me
- Iron Quest
- Rockford, Illinois
- I started to casually run 5k's, 10k's, and half marathon's in the late 90's. My first real triathlon was the Pigman Half Ironman in 2004. Since then I have slowly but consistently improved my fitness while competing in a variety of multisport races each year. However, I have always shied away from the full Ironman. Until 2009 that is. I am creating this blog to chronicle my quest to become an Ironman on September 13th, 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. On that day, the first and main goal will be to finish. But to me, I hope it is much more than that. This is a way for me to get to know myself better. It is a way to test my limits and see where they might be. I believe that life truly is a game of inches. The inches I need to get better and become an Ironman are all around me. My Ironman prep is in everything I eat, the way I think, the way I train, and the way I influence others. Striving and fighting for those inches is truly living. What am I going to do? Come back here to find out. My blog is a place where I will chronicle my training and give my personal opinions on health and fitness.

Securian Frozen Race Recap:
ReplyDeleteThere was slight confusion before the race as to whether we were running a quarter marathon – 6.55mi – or a 10k. This is important information to me. ;) In the end I believe it was a 10k. I never did see the 6 mile marker though anyway.
For the first mile, I was seriously considering only doing the 5k…my fingers and lips were colder than I have ever experienced before, and I was thinking I could do some real damage. But by 1.5 miles I was feeling 'warmer', if you can call it that, and decided I could finish the whole thing. Shortly after mile 3 I even took off my gloves, neck warmer, and hood (still had my first hat layer on though). Can you believe that! Zack, you were right about the majority of the race being sheltered from the wind, that helped a lot.
Somewhere towards the end of mile five we turned back into downtown St. Paul, and that’s when the wind came back – I really started suffering again because at that point my gloves and neck warmer were tucked away inside my jacket and then for awhile I became more concerned with the pain in my hands than my race time. There is also a pretty decent hill at that point in the race – double whammy.
As always seems to happen with me at races I never have the right perception of where the finish line is, and by the time I saw it, I figured I could have sped up a little sooner.
In the end – glad I did it! I have a nice commemorative mug and another 10k under my belt. And, racing in the negative double digits weather certainly gives me bragging rights as well, don’t you think? ;)
