Iron Dreams (2010)

So, I think distance triathlons are kind of like being pregnant. During/ right afterwards you say you will never do it again.... then as time fades, you think, "well, maybe someday," and then with a little more time you are thinking, "ya, that would be a great idea, it's totally worth it." I have to admit, I am already looking forward to another distance event (half), in the near future. By near I mean maybe next season. My mom and I have been talking about maybe doing Ironman Arizona in a couple of years. The more I think about it, the more I want to do it... am I crazy? This is only my 3rd season of triathlons, and I would still classify myself as a beginner. Is it too early to have "iron dreams?"
Speaking of dreams, I am seriously considering buying a new TT bike. I have to decide very soon. The logical side to me keeps thinking, just wait and buy a nice road bike w/ clip on areo bars, which is probably the best thing to do. Still, having a TT bike would be fun, and it's a great deal.
I have started training again for Spudman, recovery from Vikingman was longer than I expected, especially since I got sick after the race. So I'm behind a little, but had a great swim today, mainly drills. The LTS said they would fix my wetsuit for free, so I am going to get that in tomorrow, so that I can do a few open water swims in the next couple of weeks. I think that's going to be my spudman goal, work on that dang swim! I'll save the bike work for next season when hopefully I will have a new bike! :)
