Starting in Novemberish of 2006, I got the bright idea to compete in an Ironman. I had an extensive background in swimming, ran 1 marathon in the past and I commuted on my bike to and from work the summer before but that's about it. I'm doing the rock and rollman half Iron distance in Macon, Ga. June 3rd and then the Great Floridian the full Ironman this October; incidently it's 7 days after I turn 30. So hopefully my heart won't explode.

Mark Miller and I had been doing long rides together in shelby bottoms until I hit a wet wooden bridge and flew over my handle bars smashing my shin into the crossbar. 3 weeks later when i started worrying that I had broken my leg the doctors would tell me that I had a really bad hematoma of the tibia. (Bad bone bruise)
