My brother, My Sponsor

I have been blessed with an amazing brother. Not just because he buys me stuff, either, which is very cool. But because he sees the best in me, believes I can do immeasurably more than I probably can, and motivates me to keep living a full, active life.

He recently bought me a new Xterra wetsuit. He found a promotion code online and got it 60% cheaper than their listed price! This is me trying it out for the first time on my recent visit to my parent's:

At One-Mile Recreation area in the beautiful Bidwell Park. I only had to swim 10 laps to get 3/4 of a mile!

He also sent me this package, that I received a couple of days ago:

He heard that I take fruit snacks with me on my rides, so thought I could use a restocking!

Yes, I have been greatly blessed indeed!!!

and the back will have "Ironbird" across the top and something below that, which I'm still figuring out. :-) If you have any ideas let me know. Love You!

A sort-of Table of Contents:

*If you're wondering why I'm doing an Ironman, check out the post "Why" (December, 2011).

*If you want to know more about me and how I got into triathlons, there is a 4-part series entitled "How it all Started". The first two are in December's posts (2011); the third in January, and the fourth is in February (2012).

*Ironman training took place December 2011 - November 2012.

*Otherwise, the other posts are usually thoughts that recently passed through my brain. They are meant to encourage and inspire, but also to be honest to the journey.
