Ironman Mont Tremblant

Haven't posted in a really REALLY long time! Not much to say because I've been busy training. The whole point of this blog was to track my progress in the triathlon world as I worked towards the goal I set for myself in 2009: complete an Ironman in 2012. Well, I did it. 11:35:11 at the Inaugural Ironman Mont Tremblant. I won't go into much detail, as I've already done a race report for the Barrie Triathlon Club (www.barrietriathlonclub.blogspot.com) A lot of sweat, pain, injuries, sacrifices, and successes went into making the last 4 years extremely memorable. This is by no means a letter of resignation for my triathlon and Ironman racing. I have A LOT left in the tank. My next goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon by 2017 (the year I turn 40), do another Ironman and RACE it to a sub 11 if I can train while raising a family. I really enjoyed racing the Ironman distance. I just stayed in my comfort zone the whole day. Thankfully my comfort zone is relatively fast, so even though I beat my 12 hour goal by 25 minutes, I didn't hurt or really feel any negative effects of the race. I could have gone back to training that week if I did catch a cold! Anyways, it's been a slice. This blog was fun when it started, but then it became work. I accomplished the goal I published on the internet in 2009 on this blog, and now it is time to let it fall away into internet obscurity. Au Revoir Matt's Triathlon Blog! Muah!
