So today I received my monthly issue of Triathlete magazine. Sometimes I completely forget how much I love this sport eventhough I have never competed in one....YET! The above pics are bikes that I'm considering for my "remission present" to myself. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak, but I am pretty sure I'm going to be ok. I figure that once I get the news that I'm in remission, I'm going to sign up for the 2008 Ironman Canada....no more beating around the bush. I'm going to join the Leukemia & Lymphoma Team In Training and raise money for my disease. I figure this is how I can give back. I have thought about this long & hard...wondering if I had it in me to finish an Ironman...well I think I can not only finish one but qualify for Kona Ironman Championships. I might be setting my goals rather high but I think I'm crazy enough to be able to push myself to finish in qualifying time.
I have a clear vision of what I need to do right now....and its fun to think about the bike I will eventually purchase.

the first bike looks intense. good for you for setting a goal! and i don't think there are limits to goals, so set them high!
go matt go! i'll train with you on the bike (probably the only thing i could keep up with you on). i need to learn to swim, then i'll go splash around in the pool when you do laps.
woohoo! I've always wanted to watch you jump into the water, and then watch you at the finish line! I haven't planned what I'm gonna do in between though....
