Above email received yesterday says I am really really REALLY doing an Ironman (2.4 swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 run) next June! OMG!! Ken and I both got shut out via the online registration for the Ironman Coeur d'Alene June 24, 2007. After a few emails expressing his trouble with the registration process, Ironman North America Event contacted him and he was accepted as a participant, but I had to apply for one of the community fund spots. I was tense about it after sending my payment in and kept watching the community fund designated slots on the website to see if there were any left. Ken was beginning to think he would have to go out to Idaho by himself but now he has to take me!!!!!

Are we crazy? Probably!
