Top ten reasons I'm racing Ironman Arizona

  1. I had to see it to believe that there's 2.4 miles of swimmable water in Tempe.
  2. Because it's hard. (Supposedly what I told someone before doing my first IM.)
  3. It's a dry heat.
  4. Everything else I do this summer will seem easy in comparison.
  5. Road triiiiip!!!
  6. I want to give my somewhat skeptical orthopedic surgeon a photo of me crossing the finish line 15 weeks after breaking my wrist.
  7. I love my Lucky jeans. And now I can wear them again.
  8. It doesn't have to be fun to be fun.
  9. I knew it couldn't possibly rain all day like it did at IM Wisconsin. (It won't, right?)
  10. Because I finished IM New Zealand in 13:05:30. Gotta cut five minutes and 31 seconds somewhere.

You are going to ROCK IMAZ!

It doesn't have to be fun to be fun! Right on.

I LOVE that not only are you doing the race post-wrist break on less training than you've done in the past, but that you are planning on setting a PR. Sweet! Go for it! You can totally do it! We'll be cheering you on from Oakland.

You know, I'm pretty sure it's a lie, but Dinner In A Bottle looks like a product that'd make you happy. :)
