It has begun.
Training season is here.
There is a finish line--July 23, 2017.
IronMan Lake Placid-
Dan will be racing his first IronMan.
With eight years of completing
half-IronMans & triathlons--
it's time to take on the BIG one.
How BIG?
2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run-BIG.
Dan decided after this last triathlon season, it was time.
With a future goal to make it to
Kona, Hawaii for the IronMan World Championship-
He thought it was time to try it out-
Push the limits.
Put in the work.
Raise awareness for a cause.
Dan is racing for the Multiple Myeloma Foundation.
A blood cancer, without a cure.
Loved ones who have had to say goodbye too soon.
The hope is money can be raised and donated towards the
Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).
It's one thing to race and strive for your personal best-
it's another to strive to complete this goal for an external cause.
With early, early morning swims,
run's squeezed between meetings,
and several hour bike rides on day's off--
it is a commitment.
During these next months of training,
we cheer you on!
ITU World Championships 2015
Jack and I will be there cheering you on,
every step of the way!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2
Will pray for Dan during this time of training.
