Here's what I wrote two years ago:
Welcome to my (Matt Doucette's) blog. Here I will be keeping you up to date as I work my way towards an Ironman Triathlon. The goal is to have this done by 2012. I'm more of a talker than a writer (and even then, many say I can't talk properly...pathetic for an English teacher!), but I hope to provide a humorous look at my seasons from training to races, goals that I've achieved, or set too high. I don't want to just throw out training stats; I want to be able to let you know what it's like for me as I work to accomplishing my goal: Ironman 2012
I haven't read this post in a while, but I knew what it entailed. The ultimate goal being an Ironman race in 2012. Shoot, guess I should sign up for one. Oh wait, I already did! Next August 19th, 2012 I will be competing in the inaugural Ironman race at the beautiful Mont Tremblant. It's going to be scary, nervous, exhausting, painful, DEATH, but...it's going to be a wonderful experience. The last two years have been such an amazing experience. I have accomplished many firsts, and have improved immensely. Fact: I was faster by 20 minutes from my first ever sprint at Muskoka to this year's Muskoka sprint. I have learned how to push myself to the boundaries, and do what it takes to win. Each race I work on something different in the hopes of making myself a complete triathlete. All in all, I am no longer compliant with just finishing. I'm now trying to win.
