So it begins...

I'm a few days late -9 if you're one of those OCD folks- with my first post of 2014 (ever on this blog, actually) but as they say, better late than never.

My goal -the point of it all -this blog, the videos, the races, everything, is to show my daughters that with a little perseverance, a lot of hard work and the support of those you care about, great things can happen.

I am a triathlete.  Don't believe me?  Ask my coach! It's true.

I have one goal for next year as a triathlete; to compete in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Mont-Tremblant,Quebec, Canada.  That is THE goal.  


To get there, I must qualify.  To qualify, I must compete in other events and train like it's going out of style.  I must also come up with sponsors to help pay for these events.   If you don't know, being a triathlete can get expensive...fast! Unfortunately, I am not an heir to Lord Grantham of Dowton Abbey fame.  I work a full-time job -plus I'm a writer ...a busy guy to say the least.






Here I shall chronicle my journey.  Training, hunt for sponsors, race prep, post race reports, videos, photos...the works.

Stay tuned....here I go!


Can anyone guess where I first heard the phrase, Delusions of Grandeur?
