Well, I bought a bike. The reason? IronMan.
I've been thinking about getting into triathlons for quite some time now and I finally took the plunge. I bought a bike and I intend on doing a sprint tri and an olympic tri this year. Next year I am going to do a half IronMan and attempt to qualify for the IronMan World Championship in Kona Hawaii. In order for me to qualify I need to place first in my age group in any IronMan event of either 70.3 distance or full distance. Since not too many people my age are attempting these distances, I have a pretty decent chance.
Why would I want to do this? The answer is simple: Because marathons aren't crazy enough.
