2009 will be my 5th tri season -- if you count '05 & '06, which were all try-a-tri's. Did my first 70.3 in '08, at Muskoka, where I finally finished after a brutal day, during which I contemplated quitting at least a dozen times. 2009 will see me scale back the distances a little (so I can golf more!)... topping out at the Olympic level. Next year I'm hoping to do my first Iron distance.
