Here we go!

I decided that I wanted to chronicle my journey towards becoming an Ironman, in words and pictures.

How and why did I decide to do an Ironman event?  I decided for many reasons.  A few of the top reasons was that it became a "bucket list" item, even though I do not have a formal bucket list written down.  Second, I wanted to hear my name called as I cross the finish line..."Vince Auten, from Indianapolis, Indiana, YOU are and Ironman!"

I watched Ironman Kona last November.  Amazing!  That is when I said I was going to do an Ironman.

My wife thinks I am crazy, but she is supporting me 110%...that's the only way I would be able to do this.

More to come.  I wanted to get my blog started.
